I was very impressed with the Syracuse football team's season overall this year.  They got a massive win over Miami when they were trailing big early to cap off a very successful first year under head coach Fran Brown.  Quarterback Kyle McCord leads the country in passing yards and after a bad ending to his Ohio State career he delivered in every way for the Orange.  Below is my quick take on this as seen in The Times Union:

What a first season for Syracuse Head Coach Fran Brown capped off by a memorable 42-38 come from behind win over Miami to finish 9-3. Brown changed the climate the minute he walked into the JMA wireless Dome and getting quarterback Kyle McCord to leave Ohio State was the biggest reason why. McCord became the first Syracuse quarterback to throw for over 4,000 yards in a single season, and he was nothing short of brilliant for most the season. Brown has proven in one season he knows how to win the transfer portal, and he was able to convince several high caliber players to come to Syracuse and that hasn't been easy to do. Let's see if this season is the start of something big for Syracuse football in the future.

Now Syracuse will get a good bowl game coming up later in December that they have earned with a great regular season.  Fran Brown is here to stay and he has rebuilt the culture of this program.  He is going to get some major recruits here for years to come.
