Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports Can the Orange start the ACC campaign with a win? The Syracuse Orange head to Charlottesville for their first true road game of the 2023-24 season. The Virginia Cavaliers are coming off a big win over Texas A&M and they’ll be looking to win this game and jump back into next week’s Top 25. Here’s how we think Saturday’s game will go?

Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports ACC Opener The Syracuse Orange (5-2, 0-0) will open the 2023-24 ACC slate when they go on the road to face the Virginia Cavaliers (6-1, 0-0) for a Noon tip on ESPN2. What are we watching for tomorrow? Mike: Break Through on the Boards Virginia is the lowest-scoring team in the ACC by far. SU’s depth has struggled to put up points and if not for facing Chaminade, their average p.p.g. would also be a lot lower. That said, both teams have hammered the offensive glass and whoever does that better tomorrow should come out on top. Look for SU...

Syracuse football: first down offense vs Wake Forest
Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports Syracuse had to grind this one out It felt like an offensive explosion this Saturday when the Syracuse Orange put up 468 yards and 35 points against Wake Forest. Digging into the first down numbers showed that Syracuse wasn’t using the element of surprise on Wake on first downs, but they were able to make plays (especially on third down) to keep the chains moving and put up points. I was in and out during the game and seeing there was only one punt is crazy. Outside of the failed end of half play, the Orange didn’t attempt a first-down...
