GameThread: No. 22 Syracuse Orange vs. Liberty Flames

It’s officially here! Your No. 22 Syracuse Orange football team begins 2019 on the road against the Liberty Flames in Lynchburg, Va. The game kicks off at 6 p.m. ET from Williams Stadium, and for most of us that means tuning into ESPN+ for the only time this season.

Syracuse comes in as a three-score favorite, but with this being Liberty’s first FBS game, they’d love to make something special happen. Obviously we’d love to avoid such a calamity.
