Syracuse football aims for seventh straight season-opening win

When the Syracuse Orange football team takes on the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday, they’ll obviously be aiming for a win. But specifically, it could be their seventh straight season-opening victory. In case you forgot, here are the six that preceded this year:

  • 2019: 24-0 over Liberty
  • 2018: 55-42 over Western Michigan
  • 2017: 50-7 over Central Connecticut State
  • 2016: 33-7 over Colgate
  • 2015: 47-0 over Rhode Island
  • 2014: 27-26 over Villanova (20T)

You obviously remember the game that started this streak, the terrifying double-OT victory over Villanova in the House That Riley Dixon Built.
