Syracuse Football: 44 reasons why the Orange can win the ACC

When your friend presents an idea about Syracuse football, you initially laugh at it only to realize that it might be fun to do, challenges you, and you like his idea so much that you attempt it:

After a long Twitter exchange with my friend Jeff and my brother from another mother and site bro Neil Adler, I put together a list and sure enough, I could easily find 44 reasons why I think Syracuse football could win the ACC championship.

I know many lost faith after the Rutgers loss but not me. I preached patience and said an 8-9 win season was still possible and I see no reason to back down now. I said let’s see what the next couple of games gave us and Syracuse football won them. So while I am not saying run to WynnBet and wage all of your paycheck, I am simply saying from what I have seen so far this season, I think it’s possible and I believe in the Orange!
