Orange Watch: The new ‘Northern Boys’ (Syracuse) join the southern football fraternity (ACC)

July 21, 2013 Brad Bierman

MacPherson, an unheralded high school player who’s worked hard into his final season to earn a spot to be considered for the Rimington Award as the nation’s top center, would like the debut ACC season to be one in which the Orange shock college football.

Orange Watch: Part II — Greatest Syracuse victories against its new ACC opponents

July 17, 2013 Brad Bierman

We’ll go with the only highlight of the Greg Robinson era, a highly improbable 24-23 road win led by backup quarterback Cameron Dantley, over an Irish team that had never previously lost to a team entering a game with eight defeats. SU would finish 3-9 in Robinson’s final season.

North Carolina State Wolfpack — 2013 Syracuse Football preview

July 16, 2013 Charles Kang

Despite this being a rebuilding year, the Wolfpack still have plenty of talent remaining. Running back Shadrach Thornton led the team in rushing last season with 694 yards, while receivers Bryan Underwood, Quintin Payton and Rashard Smith should benefit from Doeren’s system.

Orange Watch: Part I — Greatest Syracuse victories against its new ACC opponents

July 15, 2013 Brad Bierman

We first want to enjoy all of summer’s finest offerings before the sixth earliest (tied) football start in school history, so on that note some hazy, lazy day Orange reading about great football/basketball games of the past against the fresh ACC rivals for 2013-14.

Ashton Broyld — Meet the 2013 Syracuse football team

July 10, 2013 Charles Kang

Broyld shined in the 2012 spring game, showcasing his supreme athleticism on a 44-yard reception that started out as an average pass to the flat. Recruited as a quarterback, but with the ability to line up at the receiver and running back positions, Broyld was hailed as the Swiss army knife of the offense.

July 3, 2013 Charles Kang

Syracuse was welcomed, along with Notre Dame and Pittsburgh, into the Atlantic Coast Conference on Monday at a press conference at the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in Times Square. We caught up with Don McPherson in an exclusive interview to get his take on Syracuse’s move to the ACC.

Josh Kirkland — Meet the 2013 Syracuse football team

June 26, 2013 Charles Kang

When he was reviewing tape of Butler Community College, linebacker Josh Kirkland was near the bottom of his list. But the more he watched the video, the more he liked what he saw.

Tulane Green Wave — 2013 Syracuse Football preview

June 25, 2013 Charles Kang

Tulane had a porous defense last year, as the Green Wave gave up 38.4 points per game, good for 118th in the NCAA. They return an experience secondary, but are still unproven up front and at the linebacker positions. Look for the Orange ground game to lead Syracuse to a win.

Orange Watch: A convenient new Syracuse fan guide for the ACC

June 24, 2013 Brad Bierman

It’s a handy paperback guide to all things ACC, including a reverse Syracuse chapter for visiting fans to the Dome and environs, and we give it definite thumbs up for anyone in Orange Nation plotting trips this fall and next winter.

Orange Watch: It’s Syracuse’s last week in the Big East

June 24, 2013 Brad Bierman

None-the-less, following an out-of-the-blue call from ACC commissioner John Swofford to Nancy Cantor coming several months after a fractured Big East vote defeated a new TV contract with ESPN in May 2011, here we are saying farewell to the folks in Providence this week and hello, Greensboro.
