I KNOW! Seemed impossible, but nearly a year from the last confirmed date (with Wisconsin...), Syracuse Athletics has locked up an opponent for an upcoming year.
SU will host the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders on September 9, 2017. It's the third confirmed game for 2017, along with Central Michigan (September 16) and a road game at LSU (September 23). That leaves one spot left -- the opener -- which will probably be filled with an FCS squad.
Syracuse points out that this is the Orange's first game against a current Conference USA opponent, which seems odd until you realize what a revolving door that league's membership has been over the years.
