FSU football: 6 most winnable games on 2021 schedule
By Kelvin Hunt
This game is the first of a few games that I’d give FSU a very low probability of losing. The Orange have been awful under Dino Babers outside of a flukish 2018 season that saw them win 10 games.
They only won one game last year (Georgia Tech) and lost to the likes of Liberty and Duke by double-digits.
Syracuse has lacked quality quarterback play, and the offensive line has been about as bad as the Noles in recent years.

The Orange turned to the transfer portal to look for help at quarterback and a couple of other positions.
Their strength is probably their 3-3-5 defense, but their offense has been so bad they’ve gotten worn down late in games. Think about the 2018 FSU/Syracuse game and how the FSU defense crumbled in the second half after being on the field almost the entire first half.
However, Syracuse doesn’t have the talent to beat decent teams unless those teams keep them in games with turnovers and penalties.
Not to mention it’s a home game for the Noles, who’ll hopefully go into this game 3-1 or 2-2 at the worst.
