GameThread: Syracuse Orange (4-4, 1-3) vs. Boston College Eagles (4-3, 0-3)

Despite what we might’ve thought when this season started, the Syracuse Orange football team is now 4-4 overall (1-3 in ACC play) and knocking on the door of a bowl bid. Key to getting to the six-win mark, though, is a win over the Boston College Eagles, who come to the Dome on Saturday. While BC’s 4-3, they’ve lost three straight and the offense has seemingly sputtered to a halt. Let’s hope things stay that way.
