FSU football: 3 huge facts about 2022 Syracuse football
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU football will travel to Syracuse Saturday for another prime-time game. The Noles are bowl eligible and ranking in the AP top 25 for the second time this season.
They lost in their first game as a ranked team against Wake Forest, but that shouldn’t be the case this weekend.
Here’s what I had to say about Syracuse in my game-by-game predictions in the preseason:
"Syracuse returns much of their defense, but their offense consists of their running back and no passing game. Syracuse plays a murderer’s row schedule and will likely be demoralized by the time FSU rolls to upstate New York. They will probably be better than their record indicates. However, FSU is the more talented team on both sides. Outside of FSU turning the ball over multiple times, I don’t see Syracuse scoring enough to get past the Noles."
Syracuse brings a 6-3 record into the contest and has had a ranking for much of the season before their third consecutive loss dropped them outside the top 25.
Many FSU football fans grew afraid of Syracuse when they started the season 6-0, but I never wavered because I watched the games. Here are three huge facts about the 2022 Syracuse Orange.
