Syracuse football finished the 2022 season 7-6. After an offseason of considerable change, including turnover at both coordinator positions, the Orange is looking to get to back to back bowl games for the first time in a decade. In addition, a winning record in the regular season would mean accomplishing that feat in back to back season for the first time in 22 years. As head coach Dino Babers enters his eighth season leading Syracuse football, a second straight bowl game would further solidify his status as head coach.

The Orange kicked off the 2023 campaign with a 65-0 win over Colgate and 48-7 triumph over Western Michigan, both in the JMA Wireless Dome. The first road test of the season saw the same result, with SU coming out with a 35-20 win. Syracuse finished the non-conference slate with a 29-16 triumph over Army. The Orange dropped its ACC opener to Clemson and was blown out at #14 North Carolina, at #4 Florida State and at Virginia Tech. Syracuse returned home but the losing streak continued with a close defeat at the hands of Boston College. The streak was snapped against Pittsburgh, but the Orange returned to its losing ways at Georgia Tech which led to the firing of coach Babers.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
