Syracuse’s Road to Redemption | Syracuse Orangemen Football News

Syracuse is on a desperate mission to snap a nine-game losing streak against FBS teams and avoid an 0-2 start to ACC play for the first time since 2023, facing their biggest rival Pittsburgh in a must-win road game at Acrisure Stadium — where they’ve lost 11 straight. With penalties costing them dearly (leading the nation at 13.5 per game) and last week’s loss marred by turnovers and missed kicks, the Orange need a breakthrough. Quarterback Steve Angeli insists he’s healthy and ready, but backup Amari Odom stands by. On the bright side, the defense has improved, led by standout cornerbacks Chris Peal and Demetres Samuel Jr., but Pittsburgh’s dominance in the series — 20 wins in 24 games — looms large. With a grueling 35-day road trip ahead, Syracuse must find a way to win away from home — a streak they’ve kept alive for five seasons — or risk another brutal conference collapse.
