Syracuse Football: Top 5 Orange players due for a bounce back in 2020

Syracuse football is hoping for a better year in 2020, to do that, the Orange will need some help. Here are the top 5 players due for bounce-back seasons.

2019 was a gut punch for the Syracuse football team, its’ fan base, and the coaching staff. After a remarkable 10-3 year, the Orange provided a lackluster 5-7 encore season in 2019. It’s like asking Santa Claus for a PS4 and getting a pet rock instead, just a total letdown.

If the Orange wants to get back to their winning ways they’re going to need some big-time help from some big-time players. In 2019 Syracuse dealt with injuries, chemistry issues, and obviously falling short of expectations.

There are several players on the roster that the Orange expected to play huge roles in 2019, but for whatever reason fell short. We’ve identified the top five players that are due for bounce-back seasons in 2020.

If these select players can live up to their God-given potential then maybe just maybe Syracuse can return to the top of the ACC standings. Although if these players fall short of expectations for the second straight season, it could be another long year on the hill for the Orange.
