Time and time again of late, experts have opined that, on paper, Syracuse football has the toughest 2025 schedule in the Atlantic Coast Conference and one of the most daunting dockets around the country in the upcoming campaign.
Of course, that's why the games are played on the field, but still, I think it will prove a tall task for the Orange to win 10 contests in 2025, as the 'Cuse did a season ago when Syracuse football sported a 10-3 overall mark in the head-coaching debut of Fran Brown.
At the same time, I've said more than once, as we get further into preseason camp and inch closer to late August's season opener against Tennessee in Atlanta, that if the Orange doesn't attain 10 triumphs in 2025, it doesn't necessarily mean that the 'Cuse is taking a step back from a stanza ago.
