Syracuse football’s bowl hopes expire in Louisville despite late rally

It’s official Syracuse football has clinched a third losing season in four years under head coach Dino Babers.

The Orange dug themselves in a 3-6 hole to start the season thanks to poor offensive line play, bad clock management, and inconsistent defense.

They knew the odds of winning out and reaching a bowl were slim and despite an impressive victory vs Duke last week, it was nothing but a tease.

Louisville immediately got on top of the Orange 21-3 in the first quarter and never really looked back. The Cardinals possessed so much talent on offense and that came through on Saturday evening vs this Syracuse defense.
