The 2017 season is nearly upon us for the Syracuse football team. So how are the Orange looking? ITLH breaks it all down ahead of the season opener.

There’s so much to look forward to this season for the Syracuse football squad. Ah the fresh smell of mowed grass on a Fall afternoon. The shell shocking collision between two athletes is refreshing, after months of solitude.

Of course your ears will get the pleasant angelic screeching of one Boy Green for your Syracuse football postgame coverage on The Score 1260. That’s right, I talked in third person, I’m excited for my first opportunity doing this on an official basis.

You got a small taste of what’s to come when we discussed this very topic, In The Cell with ML. So here’s my best impersonation of a school teacher, in the next coming slides we’ll take a look at each positional group on the Orange.

I’ll dole out a record on how I think this team looks entering the season. There are a few ground rules we must lay. First, these grades are based on assuming health. While that could change a few of these grades, how else can you grade? So with that being said Orange is the New Fast starts now!
