The Syracuse Orange football season won’t kick off until August 31. But let’s not pretend that would stop me from discussing the team at all -- and it hasn’t. We’re already almost done with opponent previews for 2018.
The Orange face yet another challenging schedule this year (and odds say we’re looking at something around 4.5 wins). So it’s not going to be easy, even with an improved and/or healthier team. Still, we’re looking at the positives wherever possible. Today’s foe:
School: University of Louisville
Mascot: Cardinals
#BRAND Slogan: “Louisville First, Cards Forever” (frequently abbreviated as #L1C4)
Alternate #BRAND Slogan Suggestions: “Throw It In the Bag” or “Good Thing We Never Won a Football Title, Otherwise We’d Probably Have to Vacate That Too”
Conference: Atlantic Coast Conference
Coach: Bobby Petrino, 5th/9th season.
