After a shut out against Liberty, the Syracuse football squad moved up in the AP poll for Week 2 and now sit at No. 21 in the country; however, the odd makers to be were not as impressed.
Syracuse opened up as a favorite against the Maryland Terrapins (-4 points) but are sitting as two-point underdogs to a Terrapins team that beat the Howard Bison 79-0 to open the season.
Both defenses were ready for their season openers pitching shutouts. Maryland’s offense was the one that clicked more than the Syracuse offense. Former Virginia Tech quarterback Josh Jackson looked impressive with four touchdown passes in a single half of playing time.
