Syracuse Football: UConn breakdown (Behind Enemy Lines)

The Syracuse football team attempts to achieve 4-0 for the first time since 1991. The UConn Huskies stand in the way of that possibility.

This has ‘trap’ game written all over it for the Syracuse football squad. The Orange are coming off of an emotional win over the Florida State Seminoles, beating them for the first time since 1966. Next week they play the Clemson Tigers in Death Valley. Softly sitting between is little old UConn who is a 27.5 point underdog.

That’s usually the recipe for disaster. But this Orange team isn’t letting the hype get to them, they seem ready to continue their dominance. While on the other hand, this UConn team has been tough to watch. The defense has been abysmal, but the offense much better than originally expected.

The Orange have a rare opportunity to extend their winning streak to 4-0 on the season, if they accomplish the feat it’d be the first time since 1991 on the hill. The media have preached ‘bowl or bust’ for Dino Babers, but it seems like inside the locker room they have much higher expectations than that.

To accomplish all their hopes and dreams they’ll have to vanquish a familiar foe in the UConn Huskies. Their former Big East rivals may be down on their luck lately, but they have a ton of talent. So we decided to sit down with our UConn football insider, Adam Giardino to learn more about this team as we go ‘Behind Enemy Lines’ with five burning questions ahead of this game.
