The good news? The Syracuse Orange did what they needed to do last week against Albany, winning by a large margin. The bad news? I don’t think many people are encouraged that the improvement we saw against the Great Danes can or will translate into the future. That future starts right now as the Liberty Flames are back in the Carrier Dome, looking to repeat what they did last year - beat the Orange in Central New York.
Three wins heading into ACC play would do a lot for Syracuse, especially given that the conference strength appears historically weak this season.
