3. This isn’t a bowl team

While this is painfully obvious after their fourth loss of the season, it wasn’t before the game kicked off. We talked about how there were 4-5 winnable games on the schedule and that this game was the tipping point.

Well now the narrative is will the Orange even win one more game this season? Oh how times change in college football.

Well reality is brutal and the reality is this is not a very good football team. Despite all the hype that was built on this Dino Babers offense, we just aren’t there yet.

Now the Orange are fighting for respectability. Although with this loss Syracuse may be fighting to avoid last place in the ACC.
