Can Syracuse Football Hit 7 Wins?

Hey there, everyone, Adam Gakken here with the Orange Fizz

As much as I'd like to talk about how beautiful it is right now here in Central New York

or my Washington commanders in that incredible win last night, we've got to talk Syracuse football

because this has been one interesting season for the Orange. I mean, a week ago today, we were talking about this team as a potential college football

playoff contender, a potential ACC title team. But after that demoralizing loss to Pittsburgh on Thursday, the X

expectations have to be reset. What can this team achieve this year in year one under Fran Brown

The last five games are interesting. The first four are all extremely winnable. You got Virginia Tech

BC, Cal, and Yukon. None of which are bad teams, even Yukon, that's a solid Husky squad this season

that almost beat Duke, almost beat Wake Forest. But those are four very, very winnable games

NSU needs to win at least two of them in my opinion You got to win at least seven this season If you don then it a disappointment There not that many opportunities There not many years where Syracuse schedule gives the Orange a chance to win seven games This year they have to

The win total before the season was seven and a half. So really, this squad has to win eight

which means over the next five games, it has to overachieve. It has to beat Virginia Tech

First off, let's start with this weekend. It's the best quarterback that Syracuse will face yet this

season and the second best that it'll face all year other than Cam Ward, who's with Miami

that ends the year. Kyron drones with the Hokies is great. Syracuse has to stop him

If the Orange can do that, then you build on some momentum. You go into a Boston college game, which is winnable

And then you take on Cal. That's not going to be easy, but look, things are never easy in college football

We were talking about this team as a potential college football playoff contender

It's got to be able to win those road games like matchups again. against the cow. Make sure to follow our site at Orange Fizz for updates all throughout the week ahead of the Orange's matchup against Virginia Tech
