The Syracuse Orange (3-3, 0-2) are in a tough spot this week, facing the Pittsburgh Panthers (4-2, 1-1) on Friday night at the Carrier Dome. SU’s coming off a tough 16-10 loss to NC State last Thursday, while Pitt has won three straight and had a bye last week. Still, questions abound for both squads in a contest that should tell us a lot about which direction each is heading in.
SU kicks off against the Panthers at 7 p.m. ET from the Dome — or ESPN/WatchESPN for those of us at home. But before things get going, here’s some pre-game reading for you to catch up on.
