Syracuse football did get crushed by North Carolina over the weekend, but the Orange’s new defensive system had some bright spots.
Yes, Syracuse football kept things closer until the fourth quarter before the Orange ultimately got blown out this past Saturday afternoon against a highly rated North Carolina crew in Chapel Hill.
The ‘Cuse offense needs a lot of work, without question. Yet Syracuse football, if a few components to this contest turned out differently, had an opportunity to stay close with the Tar Heels, and possibly even spring an upset.
