SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) Syracuse opens its season in the Carrier Dome on Friday night against Rhode Island of the Football Championship Subdivision.
Same scenario as a year ago, when the Orange beat Villanova by one point – in double overtime – on a touchdown pass from punter Riley Dixon.
Senior quarterback Terrel Hunt was ejected in the second quarter of that game and also missed the final seven games of a 3-9 season with a broken calf bone.
Hunt’s back and says he doesn’t even think about last year, when the Orange started 2-0 and lost nine of their last 10.
For the record, Syracuse has not lost to an FCS team since a 14-13 setback at Holy Cross in 1958, a span of 31 games. Rhode Island was 1-11 in 2014.
