GameThread: Syracuse Orange vs. North Carolina Tar Heels

As best we can tell, the 2020 Syracuse Orange football season is happening this fall. That trek begins with a road game at the No. 18 North Carolina Tar Heels, which shouldn’t be a measuring stick game for the Orange as much as a gauge of how good (or not) this UNC team really is. Still, we’re excited to see how Syracuse’s offseason coaching changes affect what happens on the field, plus the results of starting some new players and making various position changes (especially in the secondary).

Before the game kicks off at noon ET down at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill (and on ACC Network), here’s some reading to help you prep for the game:
