Syracuse football suffered a deflating 17-7 loss to old Big East foe Rutgers in their home opener with fans in attendance.

While the Orange defense played a strong game, a lack of offense and special teams mistakes cost Syracuse in its home opener.

The last time these two teams met, they were members of the Big East Conference, and Rutgers defeated Syracuse, 23-15, on Oct. 13, 2012.

Syracuse opened its 2021 season with a 29-9 win over Ohio, making it one of only six ACC teams to win its opening game.

Syracuse’s offense in its 29-9 win over Ohio looked like an attack that former Orange lineman Zack Chibane was very familiar with.

The former Big East members have not played since 2012, but geographic proximity makes this a series worth re-establishing.

Probably the best takeaway from Syracuse’s win over Ohio is that the offensive line turned in a strong effort.

Sean Tucker’s big night powered Syracuse to a solid 29-9 road win at Ohio in the 2021 season opener for both sides.

A dominant Syracuse running attack busted open what was a tight game in the third quarter, as Sean Tucker finished with 181 yards.

Even getting to 6-6 and making a bowl game likely involves just about everything breaking right for the Orange.
