Share:

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse and Holy Cross square off on Saturday, Sept. 28, in a Dome encounter that pairs two old rivals. The contest features the Orange, a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) member, against the Crusaders, who are aligned with the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).

ORANGE AGAINST THE FCS
In 1978, Division I college football programs were split into two categories – Division I-A and Division I-AA. Eventually, those classifications were renamed to what currently exists in the form of FBS and FCS programs.

Since the initial split, Syracuse has posted a 17-0 record against FCS opposition.
