Members of the 2020 Syracuse football team: Damien Rhodes feels your pain.
He can still vividly picture the feeling of losing his last game in the Carrier Dome, a 27-0 thrashing by South Florida. Rhodes, SU’s leading rusher from 2005, also has nine more losses from that season etched in his memory, each of them frustrating.
“This year makes me think of 2005,” Rhodes told The Daily Orange.
After losing to Notre Dame on Saturday, the 2020 team joined Rhodes’ 2005 group as Syracuse’s only teams to go 1-10 since the Ben Schwartzwalder era began.
