After finishing the regular season at 9-3, its best campaign since 2001, No. 20 Syracuse will play No. 16 West Virginia in the Camping World Bowl on Dec. 28 in Orlando, Florida. “We get to work on our tans,” SU head coach Dino Babers said. “Bring your sunscreen.”
This game marks Syracuse’s (9-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast) second trip to the Camping World Bowl. Its first ended in a loss to Georgia Tech in 2004. WVU (8-3, 6-3 Big 12) has become a regular through of the bowl, with Dec. 28 marking the Mountaineers’ fifth time playing in it, a Camping World Bowl record.
