First up on the slate for the Syracuse football squad is the Liberty Flames in Week 1.
Now before you chalk this one up in the win column let me fill you in on a few key pieces of information.
Liberty moved from the FCS to the big leagues last year but they bring with them a legacy of success. Spending 30 years in the FCS they had 21 winning seasons, they are also just one of 9 teams to post a winning season in their first year in FBS; not posting a losing season since 2005.
