Carlson: Syracuse football’s offense showed ‘positive signs’ in Spring Game

April 21, 2014 Charles Kang

Syracuse’s defensive backs in particular were a bit injured and a little depleted, but I think you saw some positive signs that they could be better and build off last season and that Texas Bowl win.

Orange Watch: An orange-flavored take on the new Syracuse football uniforms

April 21, 2014 Brad Bierman

That orange helmet meant Syracuse football. Not a blue one, and certainly not a white helmet, as Maloney found out in a hailstorm of criticism in 1974 as he wanted to separate himself from the previous quarter century of SU football under Coach Ben.

February 4, 2014 Brad Bierman

It was an initial mild surprise to Orange Watch when the seven members (five modern-day players plus two senior nominees) of the newest class of Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees were unveiled this past weekend in New York, and Marvin Harrison, in his first year of eligibility, was not among the names that were announced.

Orange Watch: 2014 Syracuse football schedule has its ups and downs

January 27, 2014 Brad Bierman

Unless there is some sort of change to the protocol of the ACC Football composite schedule for 2015 and forward, we certainly hope the conference does not make both the Pittsburgh and Boston College matchups the annual final two regular season games, alternating odds years in the Dome and even years away.

January 21, 2014 Charles Kang

Steve Ishmael has had Syracuse at the top of his list for a very long time and the visit did nothing to change that. In fact, I was talking to him while he was at the airport, waiting for his flight to go home, and he said he really didn’t want to leave.
