Syracuse versus Florida State! Start of ACC play. If that doesn’t get your blood pumping Orange you aren’t a SU Fan.

We have been the doormat of the ACC since we joined the conference. We have had a few decisive wins (about one per year in the Dino Babers era) but those bright spots have been few and far between.

When the dust settles, the almost won games like LSU & Florida State games are remembered as losses and nothing more. Now is the time for our revenge. Florida State is a team divided looking for their identify and we need to stomp on their throat. Poor passing defense, questionable quarterback play seems like a recipe for an Orange win. Eric Dungey puts another notch in the belt and the defense steps up as the Orange win this one 35-20.
