When you look at the Syracuse Orange football team and see a 3-3 record with no additional context, it’s easy to shrug. This team won a single game last season, had a few tough opponents on the early schedule and doesn’t have a ton of talent on the roster. Winning half of your games through six contests sounds about right.
And yet... those of us watching the ups and downs of each game thus far know there’s far more to it all. While not necessarily that “great” of a team, this Syracuse squad could pretty easily be 5-1 or 6-0.
