The Syracuse Orange finished 10-3 in Fran Brown’s first year as a head football coach. Proof that you don’t have to post a .500 record and lose to MTSU to “set things right” as a new coach. In year one for Brown the Orange won the Holiday Bowl and finished with a top-25 ranking.
The 2025 schedule for the Orange is going to be an absolute grind. This is an SEC caliber schedule with ‘Cuse facing Tennessee at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, before road games against Clemson, SMU, Georgia Tech, Miami, and Notre Dame.
