Rooting for the underdog is an American tradition. However, Syracuse Orange football rarely finds itself in this position. Established in 1889, Syracuse never joined conference play until 1991 when the team became a part of the Big East. This did not stop the Orangemen from winning the 1960

Cotton Bowl Classic

over the

Texas Longhorns

and becoming the consensus Division I football national champions. Eight players are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and 18 have thus far been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as of 2018. Among Pro Hall of Famers are Don Macpherson, Art Monk and Tim Green. The Orange's most significant rivalries are against

Boston College

and

Pittsburgh

. The Orange also has rivalries that become important at various times with West Virginia, Clemson, Penn State and North Carolina State. Syracuse Orange football plays home games at “ ”The Dome“ ” or the “ ”Loud House,“ ” a domed stadium in the University Hill neighborhood on the Syracuse college campus.

'What is a Syracuse Orange football game experience like?'

'Syracuse traditionally plays a fast-action uptempo rhythm on the offense with a heavy emphasis on big gains after pass completions. In 2019, head coach Babers looks to implement some changes, bringing veer and shoot techniques from Baylor that should complement Tommy DeVito's tendency to pass from the pocket. It will bring more running back screens with greater opportunities for large-scoring plays. Syracuse plays an aggressive defense with pass rushing and frequent sacks and turnovers. True excitement comes from Syracuse's special teams. Placekicker Szmyt has demonstrated his prowess at kicking field goals over fifty yards, and Hofrichter's punting average ranked second in the conference in 2018.'

'What are the top Syracuse Orange football games in 2019?'

'

As Syracuse attempts to realize its ACC championship dreams for 2019, the major obstacle standing in the way is

Clemson

. There is even ESPN College potential for the showdown with the Tigers. The Orange has its work cut out to take down an immensely talented Clemson team, but the team has shown in the past two years that it is up to the challenge. The

Florida State Seminoles

will also prove formidable opponents in Week 9. Syracuse dominated them last season. With no shortage of players who can put up NFL-level performances, Florida State will be eager to turn the tables in 2019. North Carolina State is a tough conference rival that Syracuse cannot afford to overlook. Finally, Duke may serve Syracuse an upset towards the end of the season with its innovative offensive plays and ability to perform up to the level of top opponents.
