Syracuse football: the 2022 season ended better than most local experts thought

The 2022 Syracuse Orange football regular season has finished. After a pair of long streaks, the Orange rallied to beat Boston College and finish with a 7-5 record.

If you were on a research assignment at the South Pole until late October, you might be shocked to see that 7-5 record. Hell, if you read a lot of comments after Saturday night’s game, you might have assumed that Syracuse was the 3-win team in Chestnut Hill that lost to UConn this season.

No, the Orange did not have a pretty season. They caught some breaks against Purdue and Virginia, they committed way too many penalties, and Dino Babers had even more questionable decisions along the way.
