Can the Syracuse football team get to 4-0 for the first time since 1991? To do it they’ll have to handle business against the UConn Huskies.

Things have not been this optimistic on the hill in a very long time. The Syracuse football squad has been humbled over the last 15 years and the team has suffered greatly. But over the last three years Dino Babers has methodically been building up this program and it seems like he has finally found some magic.

This potential win vs the UConn Huskies on Saturday afternoon could be historic on several levels. As we’ve mentioned numerous times this week with a win the Orange would get to 4-0 for the first time since 1991 which is pretty cool. But perhaps even more importantly, a fourth win would match the highest win total for the Orange since 2013.

If that doesn’t tell you things have been tough, I’m not sure what will. While this is a game against UConn that many pundits project Syracuse to dominate in, they still have to go out and handle business. Do you remember last season when Clemson was ‘expected’ to dominate Syracuse? We remember how that ended up.

Here’s some juicy insight on some UConn players to watch out for, how this game will play out, and the confidence level from the Inside the Loud House staff heading into this one.
