Syracuse Football: Orange shouldn’t overlook Liberty in Week 1

Can you believe it’s August? It seems like it was just yesterday when Syracuse football took down West Virginia in the Camping World Bowl for its’ first 10-win season since 2001.

Now, while Orange fans may still be feeling high from a fantastic 2018 season, the current Syracuse Orange football team is focused on 2019. That 2019 season opens up on Saturday, August 31, on the road vs Liberty.

Right off the bat, this screams ‘TRAP!’.

Now I get it, Syracuse has a so-called ‘easier’ conference schedule this time around. The ACC has no doubt taken a step back from last year, and the Orange don’t have games against Virginia, Virginia Tech, or Miami – three ACC schools poised to make bowl games in 2019.
