Syracuse’s Rough Start, Bright Spots Ahead | Syracuse Orangemen Football News

Syracuse’s conference opener ended in heartbreak as they fell 21-18 at home to Cal, thanks to a disastrous second half from quarterback Steve Angeli—three interceptions that directly led to Cal touchdowns, including a pick-six. Angeli also struggled with accuracy, completing under 50% of his passes, while fifteen penalties for 138 yards crippled the offense and stalled momentum. But there were glimmers of hope: transfer RB Ju’Juan Johnson emerged as the go-to back, racking up carries and scoring a touchdown, showing flashes of explosiveness and patience. Now, Syracuse turns their attention to Pitt this Thursday in Pennsylvania, needing to fix execution and cut down on mistakes if they want to bounce back from this tough loss.
