37+ min ago (1376+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. " Syracuse head coach Fran Brown took his time before addressing reporters following the team's season-ending loss to Boston College on Saturday, appearing calm and measured as his team concluded one of the worst stretches of football in program history. He offered a handful of concrete answers following a 34-12 home loss to Boston College about what went wrong this season and what steps he will take to ensure his team avoids a repeat performance, while leaving a number of key questions unanswered. "There's some decisions that I'll have to make coming up for the football team for Syracuse and I'm going to make the right decisions," Brown said. The Orange followed a 10-win season in Brown's first season with a 3-9 effort in his second, ending it on Saturday with an eighth-straight double-digit defeat. The poor results have already led Brown,…...

55+ min ago (549+ words) The Buffalo Bills will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a pivotal AFC clash in NFL Week 13 at Acrisure Stadium on Thanksgiving Sunday, scheduled to commence at 4:25 p.m. EST. All week, the Bills have been holding their breath regarding the status of their offensive line after quarterback Josh Allen was sacked a career-high eight times last week. The fear was that Buffalo would be forced to face Pittsburgh's elite pass rush without their top protectors. Head coach Sean McDermott announced Friday that both left tackle Dion Dawkins (concussion) and right tackle Spencer Brown (shoulder) have been ruled OUT. This leaves the Bills without their starting tackle duo against a Steelers defensive line led by T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. And it's an issue exacerbated by confirmation that Aaron Rodgers will start in Week 13. To mitigate the disaster, the Bills will turn to…...

2+ hour, 5+ min ago (1107+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. "The games were only one year apart but represent two dramatically opposite ends of the spectrum for Syracuse Football. On Nov. 30, 2024, Syracuse defeated No. 9 Miami 42-38 before over 40,000 fans at the JMA Dome, capping the greatest comeback in Syracuse history. On Saturday, Syracuse lost to Boston College 34-12, a team with a 1-10 record entering a Basement Bowl matchup of the two last-place teams in the ACC. Syracuse head coach Fran Brown's mission now is to point the compass back in the direction his program was heading a year ago after the Miami win and as far away as possible from the eight-game losing streak and 3-9 slog his 2025 squad just experienced. Here are five ways Brown can validate his assertion that happy days will be here again soon for Syracuse football. QB Steve Angeli finished as SU's leading passer with 1,317 yards and…...

The two-time defending state champion is looking to capture its third consecutive New York State title, a feat that would cement its dominance. But first, the Brothers had to get past Section VI's Bennett in the Class AA state semifinals on Saturday at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.

10+ hour, 46+ min ago (460+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. " After nearly an hour of addressing his team after a disappointing end to a 3-9 season, Syracuse head coach Fran Brown addressed a room of reporters curious to know what led to such a bad year. A group that asked him how much change will take place in 2026. Brown knew what he was going to be asked, and the man that spoke about his religion all season had a final benediction ready to go. He pointed to the season-ending injury of starting quarterback Steve Angeli, hampering injuries to other seniors like safeties Duce Chestnut and Devin Grant, and wide receiver Justus Ross-Simmons and a reliance on young players. But Brown offered solutions for the poor brand of football that was played, which focused heavily on the offense. "We're gonna build an offensive line around Steve," Brown said. "That'll be a…...

Here's the best of what we heard from head coach Fran Brown and players after the game. On why the season went as it did and how the team can avoid it in the future "We got a bunch of guys that'll come in that will be able to help. You want to continue to stack the depth at all positions. So no matter who goes down, it's almost similar and almost the same." On why it was hard to develop a backup quarterback "Because they were extremely young and just new to the system.

Syracuse finishes the 2025 season at 3-9 and sputters into a critical offseason on an eight-game losing streak like a car trying to navigate a busy highway on four flat tires. SU's dreadful effort was played before an estimated crowd of just over 15,600 patrons, which is about what a Syracuse-BC men's basketball game would draw here.
