Syracuse Football: Predicting the Orange’s 2018 record

Will this finally be the season in which head coach Dino Babers guides the Syracuse football program to a winning record?

Is this the year that the Syracuse football program gets back to a bowl game for the first time since 2013? Well, they definitely have their work cut out for them this year if they want that to actually happen.

Dino Babers is entering his third season as the head coach of the Orange and the program has not exactly seen an increase in wins since he arrived in 2016. He appears to have Syracuse headed in the right direction, but how much patience will the school have with Babers if the team finishes with a losing record again this year?

Helping in their quest to get back to a bowl game, the Orange have a number of talented players returning to the team this season including quarterback Eric Dungey, tight end Ravian Pierce, running back Dontae Strickland, defensive back Antwan Cordy, and corner Chris Fredrick.

Will the experience Syracuse has at some of their most important positions prove to be what leads the team to success in 2018? Or will it still not be enough to overcome a brutal schedule that the Orange have to deal with this year?

The staff here at Inside The Loud House recently took some time to give their predictions for the upcoming Syracuse football season. Spoiler alert, no one picked the team to finish as the national champion in 2018, but some of the predictions should bring a smile to those who enjoy rooting for the Orange each year.
