As is typically the case the week before games start, TNIAAM is busy tormenting you with various hypotheticals around the Syracuse Orange’s football record this season. Several of those pieces provide reasons for less-than-positive outlooks. But as you’ll see in Thursday (6-5), Friday (7-4) and Monday’s (my dog weighs in on 8-3) respective posts, there are reasons this upcoming campaign could go surprisingly well for the Orange.
Rather than throwing water on either notion, I’m providing specific reasons why both could be the correct take. Whichever possibility you opt to side with is up to you, of course.
