COLLEGE PARK, MD — The 21st ranked Syracuse Orange football team (1-0) looks for a second straight win to open the 2019 season, and fourth consecutive victory dating back to last year, when it visits the Maryland Terrapins (1-0) on Saturday afternoon.
The game kicks off just after 12 p.m. at Maryland Stadium in College Park, Maryland and will be shown on ESPN nationally. Mark Jones, Dusty Dvoracek, and Olivia Dekker will be the announcing crew.
Syracuse, led by head coach Dino Babers, comes into the game off a 24-0 win in its season opener at Liberty last Saturday. The Orange offense was sluggish at times but the defense pitched a shutout for the first time in four years to secure the easy victory.
