Share:

Saturday's gridiron encounter between Syracuse and Wagner marks the first 2018 appearance in the Dome for the Orange. Coach Dino Babers' squad has a road-game victory under its belt and looks to improve to 2-0 in front of the hometown crowd on September 8.

Homers. . .

Syracuse is 90-32-4 in home openers. Over the course of football history on the Hill, the Orange have had a home opener in all but two campaigns. In 1889, Syracuse did not play a home game, and in 1979, while the Dome was under construction, Syracuse's "home games" were not played in the Salt City.
