With one game remaining, the Syracuse Orange (4-7, 2-5 ACC) have struggled down the stretch of the season, losing their last four since upsetting then No. 2 Clemson. With no chance to make a bowl game, there is no pressure left upon the shoulders of Dino Babers and the Orange. But that doesn’t mean questions are going unaddressed.
Defensive struggles
Since the end of the first half against Wake Forest, the Orange have allowed 96 points in only three halves of football. Obviously unacceptable, the blame has to fall upon something more than injuries.
