Syracuse football legend and College Football Hall of Famer Don McPherson calls in to talk about the 2020 Orange football season with host Wes Cheng on The Juice on the Cuse podcast hosted by SNY.tv. TJO editor in chief Brad Bierman then calls in to talk about the close of the basketball regular season.

Here are the highlights from the show:

Wesley Cheng: How do you think Syracuse football is going to do in 2020?

Don McPherson: I think this a team that can bounce back. There’s going to be some maturity on Tommy [DeVito’s] part. He got beat up last year, and that brings some maturity. He’s starting to figure out the mistakes he made. I think it depends on the offensive line play. They need them to protect Tommy. Give him some time and he can be very, very effective. They have to shore up the line and fill some holes on defense. This is a year that Syracuse can get back to seven, eight, nine, even 10 wins this year.
