Pregame
Eight games into the season, Syracuse has had to reopen its quarterback competition. Coach Fran Brown has said he doesn’t go back and forth on quarterbacks. He said he chooses one and sticks to it.
But after losing his first four starts since starting quarterback Steve Angeli went down with a season-ending injury, backup Rickie Collins has forced Brown’s hand.
With multiple quarterbacks poised to take the field Friday night against Bill Belichick and North Carolina, it shows how unsettled Syracuse’s depth chart is.
With Angeli expected to return in 2026 and two incoming quarterback recruits intending to sign with Syracuse, the current quarterbacks have uncertain futures.
Beyond the quarterbacks, Syracuse could use a good showing against the Tar Heels to finally snap a long losing streak. Friday is the Orange’s last game before going on the road for back-to-back games against ranked opponents.
The Orange is also expected to host another large group of recruits.
In its first game as the favored team since Sept. 12, on national television, with a future Pro Football Hall of Fame coach coming to the dome, Friday presents a final chance to gain confidence in what has become a lost season.
