It was a slow start for the Syracuse football team and they never recovered. The 30 to 23 loss spoiled the celebration of the 1987 undefeated Orange at halftime. The Orange had to start the season 3-0 to just give themselves a chance at a bowl with the difficulty of this schedule.
While I’m not going to say put a fork in the Orange, but the fork is over their throats and we’ve only played two weeks of college football.
We knew that the defense wasn’t the best in the league, but we at least expected the offense to be there on a weekly basis.
