The Syracuse Orange are once again approaching their mandatory spring game with all the enthusiasm of teenagers being dragged on family vacation.
One of the better ACC ideas in recent years was forcing all of the schools to host a televised event to generate some excitement and interest in the football programs. Syracuse decided that the best way to do this is stick the game on a Friday night and make it as dull as possible.
The offense vs defense format means we’ll get to watch the starters (who play) pick apart the back-ups. On the positive side, the absence of Garrett Shrader last year gave fans a look at Justin Lamson and helped raise excitement over his future.
