This summer, I penned the Syracuse opponent preview column, basically doing everything but throwing my hands in the air and saying, “look, I don’t know.”
For the sake of pretending to have insight, I postulated that Carolina would be catching the Orange at their peak.
Just like 2016, September was “meh”, October called for optimism, and November was dreadful. In fact, Syracuse has just one November win in the past four years.
Unfortunately, Carolina travels to the Great White North when Babers’ teams have historically peaked— mid-to-late October.
That has not quite been the case.
