Syracuse left to ponder future after bad loss to Georgia Tech

The Syracuse Orange limps into its bye week after what can only be described as a dominating dismantling at the hands of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets last week by a score of 56-0. Adapting to the brave new world of the Atlantic Coast Conference has been anything but easy. Through three games, Syracuse sits with a 1-2 record in which it has been outscored by a 115-38 mark.

Three keys for Syracuse against Georgia Tech

The Syracuse Orange opened its first Atlantic Coast Conference road venture in style with a 24-10 win against the North Carolina State Wolfpack last Saturday in Raleigh. Both squads struggled to finish drives as both Riley Dixon and Wil Baumann each punted seven times. The game remained tight midway through the fourth quarter with the score tied at 10 apiece. That’s when Syracuse’s running game took control.

Orange Watch: Dissecting “Shafe” Part 2: “Welcome to the ACC”

Stranger occurrences have happened in college football comebacks and if nothing else, the sooner an insurmountable lead was intact with less game clock, the sooner Swinney could start liberally substituting in his second-stringers as he eyes bigger games down the road.
