LOS ANGELES (AP) – Syracuse football players haven’t set foot in the storied Coliseum since 1924.
Perhaps the Orange were just waiting for an ideal opportunity to knock off a perennial college football power.
Syracuse (2-0) could land a program-defining victory Saturday night in its first visit to California since 1968.
The Orange aren’t off to an impressive start after narrow wins over Wake Forest and Rhode Island – but neither are the Trojans (2-0), whose offense has fallen apart in the second half of its victories over Minnesota and Utah.
The schools have no history or rivalry apart from a similarly outstanding lineage at tailback. The school that produced Jim Brown, Ernie Davis and Larry Csonka is visiting the home of O.J. Simpson, Marcus White and Charles Allen.
