Syracuse football is getting lucky in 2019 with Western Michigan matchup

On Saturday at noon, Syracuse football will face off against Western Michigan for only the second time in history.

In 2018 things were going according to plan in Week 1. The Orange held a dominant 34-7 lead at halftime and everything was under control.

Then the Orange defense was introduced to Western Michigan wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge.

After only catching two passes for 42 yards, Eskridge had a second half for the ages.

The Broncos scored an incredible 28 points in the third quarter alone. D’Wayne caught six more passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns.
