The Syracuse Orange football team is coming off a win over Boston College that sends them into the bye week at 5-4, just a single win away from bowl eligibility. The bye week comes at a great time to get rested and healthy, as the Orange’s first chance at securing a postseason spot will be on the road against the Louisville Cardinals, who have traditionally owned the Orange at The Stadium Formerly Known As Fast Food Pizza Stadium Cardinal Stadium.
As expected, a matchup against a 5-4 Orange and a 4-4 Cardinals team isn’t moving many needles at ACC home base, and as such, the worst combination of game coverage and kickoff times has befallen the two teams.
