GameThread: No. 21/22 Syracuse Orange (1-0, 0-0) vs. Maryland Terrapins (1-0, 0-0)

The No. 21/22 Syracuse Orange football team plays on the road yet again — this time against the Big Ten’s Maryland Terrapins down in College Park, Md. It’s an early one, kicking off at noon ET on ESPN, so assuming you’re already tuned to College Gameday this morning, festivities will begin shortly after the show wraps up.

Syracuse comes in as a slight underdog here according to the odds, though it’s still largely a toss-up according to Vegas and any advanced metrics. Would be great if we could just avoid that altogether, obviously. We’ll take a narrow win too, though, if need be.
