SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The No. 20 Syracuse Orange football team (9-3) has been selected for the Camping World Bowl in Orlando, Florida, where it will face former Big East rival, No. 16 West Virginia (8-3) on the evening of Dec. 28.
A breakout 2018 season for Syracuse football under third-year head coach Dino Babers earned the Orange the ACC’s top bowl slot outside the College Football Playoff and New Year’s Six Bowl slots.
The bowl game kicks off at 5:15 p.m. at Camping World Stadium and will be televised nationally on ESPN.
Information on tickets for the Syracuse fan section and Syracuse travel packages for the Camping World Bowl is available at www.Cuse.com/CampingWorld. Tickets start at $79 each.
This will be the 61st all-time meeting between Syracuse and West Virginia. The Orange hold a 33-27 lead in the series. The teams last met in the 2012 Pinstripe Bowl in the Bronx, a game the Orange won, 38-14.
This meeting could be a high-scoring shootout, with both teams scoring an average of 40 points per game this season.
