Syracuse Gearing Up for Rare Road Game at Duke

Share:

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The last time the Orange played a football game at Duke the year was 1939 and Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president.

Much has changed since then and Syracuse (3-6, 0-5 ACC) looks to put its best foot forward when it returns to Durham, North Carolina for the first time in 80 years to face the Blue Devils (4-5, 2-3 ACC) on Saturday at Wallace Wade Stadium. Both sides have struggled of late. The Orange have lost four in a row, while Duke has dropped its last three.

Head coach Dino Babers knows if the Orange are to make a run at a second consecutive bowl berth they must be focused on the task at hand.
