Ross-Simmons Returns as Syracuse Eyes ACC Win | Syracuse Orangemen Football News

Syracuse is primed for a big ACC showdown against Cal this Saturday, with star WR Justus Ross-Simmons expected back after sitting out the opener—ready to reignite his touchdown-producing chemistry with QB Steve Angeli. While Umari Hatcher lit up the first game with 8 catches, 147 yards, and 2 TDs, the rest of the receivers need to step up, combining for just 60 yards. Running backs Ju’Juan Johnson and Ahmad Miller are set to make their season debuts, adding depth to a backfield that already saw Tylik Hill and Shavane Anderson Jr. combine for 192 yards and 4 TDs. Coach Fran Brown insists everyone plays—winning’s the only goal—and Cal’s recent struggles against the run (giving up 277 yards) could be key. Meanwhile, top freshmen Calvin Russell III (torn Achilles) and Tedarius Hughes (knee injury) remain sidelined but may return around October’s Connecticut game.
