  • Great 👍

    Brent is one of the best (if not the best) Syracuse sports journalist. These past few years he has done a great job at really capturing the attitudes of our disillusioned fanbase. He bleeds Orange. Go Cuse.

Q: What is Cal bringing to the table in this matchup?
Cal is talented and capable, with a new offensive and defensive staff that is still finding its footing; they have big athletes and depth, but the unit is still acclimating to the college game, which Syracuse can probe with pressure and disciplined play.
