CHESTNUT HILL, MA — The 20th ranked Syracuse Orange football team (8-3, 5-2 ACC) looks to wrap up its regular season with a win at the Boston College Eagles (7-4, 4-3) on Saturday afternoon.
The game kicks off just after 12 p.m. at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts and will be shown on ESPN nationally. Bob Wischusen, Brock Huard, and Allison Williams will be the announcing crew.
Syracuse comes into the rivalry game with BC off a 36-3 drubbing to Notre Dame last Saturday at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. That loss ended any chance of the Orange securing a spot in a New Year’s Six bowl like the Peach Bowl or Fiesta Bowl. Syracuse, however, will be going to a bowl whether it beats the Eagles or not. A win would strengthen Orange chances to make the Camping World Bowl in Orlando, the ACC’s best bowl tie-in outside the College Football Playoff and the New Year’s Six. A loss would figure to send Syracuse back to Yankee Stadium for the Pinstripe Bowl. But we shall see.
