After losing to Florida State on Saturday, 35-17, Syracuse football dropped to 3-5 on the season. Last year, the Orange were 6-2 through eight games, but in 2019, SU is riding a three-game losing streak. Its defense has fluctuated between dominance and inconsistency while its offense has struggled all season behind an offensive line that’s allowed the most sacks in the nation.
