2026 UNC Football Opponent Preview: Syracuse

Posted Oct 20, 2026
Bill Belichick is not fooled by Syracuse’s poor record, noting that the Orange are "a few plays away" from being 6-0 as opposed to 2-4. Belichick is not off base: the Orange’s four losses have come by a combined 28 points, with a 14-point loss at Pitt accounting for half that total. Syracuse lost by three to Cal, three at Virginia, and eight against Louisville. (Chapelboro.com)
