Pregame
Update: 7:45 p.m.: Former Syracuse quarterback Donovan McNabb is in attendance.
Syracuse football concludes its first season under Fran Brown seeking a rare 10-win season in Friday night’s Holiday Bowl.
Brown, a Camden, New Jersey native, has delivered about as strong a debut season as anyone expected for someone who had no prior coordinating experience, let alone head-coaching opportunities.
This is the second bowl trip Brown has been on since getting the SU job. He was on the sideline for last year’s 45-0 loss in the Boca Raton Bowl, along with prized quarterback transfer Kyle McCord.
Brown and McCord have spearheaded SU’s return to the national polls, with McCord topping the country in passing yards after transferring in from Ohio State.
Others suiting up Friday were around when the program cratered with a 1-10 record in the Covid-truncated 2020 season before steadily building the program back to respectability.
Here’s the list of inactives for the Orange (players who are listed ended the regular season on the team’s two-deep):
DT Rashard Perry
DE Chase Simmons
Saf. Devin Grant
Saf. Berry Buxton III
TE Dan Villari
CB Jayden Bellamy (transfer)
Saf. Jaeden Gould (transfer)
A win on Friday would give the Orange just its third 10-win season this century, and it’ll come with a trophy, a splash of eggnog and a familiar sense of optimism that last seeped through the fan base when the program won its 10th game six years ago.
And when the final seconds tick off the clock, a new countdown, and a new challenge begins.
Tennessee awaits in 246 days.
