When you only play 12 games per season, every game has importance. For the Syracuse Orange, their game Saturday vs. the Maryland Terrapins may be the most important game of their 2019 season, for a multitude of reasons.
As John pointed out the other day, It would be the first (regular season) non-ACC Power 5 victory for the Orange in a long time. It could set the stage for the biggest football party the school has seen in the modern era. And most importantly, many scenarios that see the Orange registering back-to-back double-digit win seasons involve a victory over the Terps this Saturday.
