GIF recap: How Syracuse tamed the Broncos

Coming off of back-to-back losses against Maryland and Clemson, the Syracuse Orange were in a “win now” situation. Were they better than the 63-20 and 41-6 thrashings or were those anomalies for a team still finding themselves? They were set to find out as they played host to the Western Michigan Broncos, against whom they were victorious against in the 2018 season.

Former Syracuse offensive coordinator Tim Lester’s team was anything but a pushover as the line coming into this game favored SU by 4.5 points and ESPN’s FPI (Football Power Index) gave WMU a 55% chance of winning.
