The Syracuse Orange football program is a college football team that represents Syracuse University. The team is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, which is a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I conference that is part of the Football Bowl Subdivision. The program has one national championship, which was earned for play in the 1959 season. The Orange are coached by Dino Babers, who was hired on December 5, 2015, to succeed Scott Shafer.[4] Home games are played at the Carrier Dome, located on the school's campus in Syracuse.

History

Early history (1889–1948)

The Old Oval athletic field, Syracuse University, circa 1898–1907

Syracuse played its first football game on November 23, 1889,[5] and achieved its first success in the 1890s and 1900s. With the construction of "state-of-the-art" Archbold Stadium in 1907, Syracuse rose to national prominence under College Football Hall of Fame coach Frank "Buck" O'Neill. The 1915 squad garnered a Rose Bowl invitation that the school declined, having already played on the West Coast that season. In 1918, John Barsha (born Abraham Barshofsky) was co‐captain of the 1918 Walter Camp All‐America football team.[6]

The 1920s had continued success with teams featuring two-time All American Doc Alexander and star end Vic Hanson, one of only two individuals who are members (Amos Alonzo Stagg being the other) of both the Basketball Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame, and who later coached the team. From 1891 to 1961, Colgate University was the school's biggest rival, with Colgate holding the edge, 31–26–5.[7] From 1937–1945, Ossie Solem served as Syracuse's head coach, compiling a 30–27–6 record.[8]

Ben Schwartzwalder era (1949–1973)

The late 1930s and 1940s had a decline in fortunes that began to reverse when Ben Schwartzwalder took over as coach in 1949.[9] Syracuse made its first bowl appearance in the 1953 Orange Bowl,[10] followed by appearances in the 1957 Cotton Bowl[11] and the 1959 Orange Bowl.[12] The 1957 Cotton Bowl Classic team featured Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown.[13]

In 1959, Syracuse earned its first national championship following an undefeated season and Cotton Bowl Classic victory over Texas. The team featured sophomore running back Ernie Davis, who went on to become the first African American to win the Heisman Trophy in 1961,[14] and All-American tackle Ron Luciano, who eventually become a prominent Major League Baseball umpire. Davis was slated to play for the Cleveland Browns in the same backfield as Jim Brown, but died of leukemia before being able to play professionally. Syracuse remained competitive through the 1960s with a series of All American running backs, including Floyd Little and Larry Csonka.[15][16] Schwartzwalder retired as Syracuse's head coach following the 1973 season, which was Syracuse's third-consecutive losing season.[17] Schwartzwalder left Syracuse with a 153–91–3 record.[18]

Frank Maloney era (1974–1980)

Michigan assistant coach Frank Maloney was hired as Schwartzwalder's replacement.[19] Maloney's tenure at Syracuse was marked by inconsistency.[20] The fan base turned on him as the Orange failed to achieve the national status they had enjoyed under Schwartzwalder. Maloney's program was also limited by archaic facilities.[21] Archbold Stadium, Syracuse's home field since 1907, was in need of replacement.[21] Nonetheless, Maloney did recruit a number of future NFL stars such as Joe Morris and Pro Football Hall of Fame member Art Monk.[22]

Maloney was the subject of criticism, not only from the fans and alumni, but also from the 1959 national championship team, members of which started a campaign calling for his ouster.[23] Ironically enough, this call from program alumni came during the 1979 season, Maloney's best at Syracuse, when the Orangemen qualified for the Independence Bowl, beating McNeese State. After coaching the Orangemen for seven seasons and presiding over the opening of a new stadium, the Carrier Dome, in 1980, Maloney resigned.[24]

Dick MacPherson era (1981–1990)

Dick MacPherson was hired as the head coach in 1981[25] and after several mediocre seasons, fans wanted MacPherson fired, coining the phrase, "Sack Mac".[26]

However, the fans' opinion of Coach MacPherson changed when the program returned suddenly to national prominence in 1987 with an undefeated 11–0 regular season record.[27] The team featured Maxwell Award-winning quarterback Don McPherson and fullback Daryl Johnston.[28] The team missed an opportunity to play for the NCAA Division I-A national football championship, because both Oklahoma and Miami also finished undefeated that year and finished higher in the polls.[29] Instead, the team faced Southeastern Conference champion Auburn University in the Sugar Bowl.[30] The game ended in a tie when Auburn kicked a late field goal rather than trying for a game-winning touchdown.[31] MacPherson left Syracuse after the 1990 season to accept the position of head coach for the NFL's New England Patriots.[32]

Paul Pasqualoni era (1991–2004)

Coach Pasqualoni

Syracuse continued to experience success under MacPherson's successor, Paul Pasqualoni, previously the team's linebackers coach,[33] appearing in 11 bowl games (including three major bowls) and winning 9.[34] The team also captured or shared three Big East football championships during this period.

Prominent players of the period included Donovan McNabb, Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney, Keith Bulluck, Rob Moore, Donovin Darius, Qadry Ismail, Kevin Johnson, Rob Konrad, Tebucky Jones, and Marvin Graves.[35][36] Rivalries shifted in the early 1990s as Penn State ended its series with Syracuse and joined the Big Ten.[37] Syracuse, meanwhile, joined the newly formed Big East football conference with traditional rival West Virginia University, and national power Miami.[38] In 2004, Miami and Virginia Tech left the Big East to join the Atlantic Coast Conference,[39] followed by Boston College in 2005,[40] threatening the stature of the Big East. Syracuse was originally invited to leave the Big East and join the ACC, but under pressure from the Governor of Virginia, the ACC decided to invite Virginia Tech to join the conference, instead.[41] Thus, Syracuse remained in the Big East. Syracuse's streak of winning seasons ended in 2002 when they went 4–8.[42] This was followed by consecutive 6–6 seasons.[43][44] Although they won a share of the Big East title in 2004 and competed in the Champs Sports Bowl,[45] the teams from 2002–2004 were considered mediocre by Syracuse standards. This prompted new athletic director Dr. Daryl Gross to fire Pasqualoni after 14 years at the helm.[46]

Greg Robinson era (2005–2008)

In 2005, the university hired Greg Robinson, defensive coordinator for Texas, as head coach.[47] Robinson installed a new West Coast offense scheme, replacing the option run style of offense previously run by Pasqualoni, and new defensive schemes.[48]

The 2005 season started on a high note as Syracuse nearly upset eventual Big East and Sugar Bowl champion West Virginia, forcing five turnovers in the 15–7 loss.[49] They followed it up with a 31–0 thrashing of Buffalo[50] and another near upset win, this time to number-25 Virginia, where they lost 27–24 on a last-second field goal.[51] The squad lost its final eight games of the season. Syracuse finished the year 1–10, the worst season in school history and won only 10 games with Robinson running the program.[52] Robinson's Orange improved to 4–8 in 2006[53] but fell to 2–10 in 2007.[54] The 2007 season included a road upset of number-18 Louisville.[55] In 2008, the Orange continued to struggle and fired Robinson,[56] following a 3–9 season[57] where the high point was a 24–23 upset of Notre Dame;[58] the game that signified the period the best was the 55–13 loss to Penn State.[59]

Doug Marrone era (2009–2012)

Doug Marrone

On December 12, 2008 that Doug Marrone, a former Orange player and offensive coordinator for the NFL's New Orleans Saints, was announced as the replacement for Robinson as head coach.[60][61][62] Marrone was the first Syracuse alumnus to serve as head football coach since Reaves H. Baysinger in 1948.[63] Reportedly, alumni such as Tim Green and Floyd Little wanted Marrone from the moment the previous coach Greg Robinson was fired, and when interviewed by Green, Marrone was found to have kept a folder of current high-school players in the Syracuse area to get a head start in recruiting.[64][65][66]

Improvement throughout the program was noticed immediately, as the Orange, despite only a marginal improvement in their win-loss record, going 4–8 under Marrone for his first year,[67] played many much more closely, including a 28–7 loss at number-seven Penn State.[68] In 2010, the Orange finished the regular season with a winning record for the first time since the 2001 season at 7–5, including road wins against number-19 West Virginia and two-time defending conference champion Cincinnati.[69] The team earned its first bowl bid since 2004 and along with second-ranked Oregon and 10th-ranked Boise State, the five road wins were the best in 2010 of all FBS teams.[70] December 30, 2010, Syracuse defeated Kansas State in the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium. The game was televised live on ESPN.[71] Two years later, the Orange defeated West Virginia in the 2012 Pinstripe Bowl.[72] On January 7, 2013, Marrone left Syracuse, accepting the head-coaching position of the NFL's Buffalo Bills.[73]

Scott Shafer era (2013–2015)

The day after Marrone's departure, Syracuse promoted defensive coordinator Scott Shafer to head coach.[74] Coach Shafer's first season was marked by inconsistency from the team in spite of the bowl eligibility for the third time in four years. Syracuse capped off the season with a 21–17 victory over Minnesota in the 2013 Texas Bowl to finish the year 7–6.[75][76] The first season for the Orange in the ACC was 2013.[77]

The 2014 season brought about a noticeable drop in quality despite the Orange starting the season 2–0. Syracuse lost 9 of its last 10 games to finish the season a disappointing 3–9.[78] In 2015, fans and media noticed a significant uptick in the team's performance after they started the season 3–0. Despite the improvement in performance, the team went 4–8,[79] and on November 23, 2015, it was announced that Shafer would be fired after the last game of the 2015 campaign.[80]

Dino Babers era (2016–present)

After an extensive coaching search, Syracuse announced the hiring of Bowling Green head coach Dino Babers as the new Orange head football coach.[81] Babers is the first African-American head coach in school history.[82] Babers brought with him an exciting, up-tempo offense he employed both as a head coach and as an assistant coach.[83]

In Babers' first season in charge, Syracuse started the year at 4–4, with the highlight of the first eight games being a 31–17 upset of number-17 Virginia Tech at home.[84] Syracuse kept the momentum from the upset going and beat rival Boston College on the road, 28–20.[85] However, they were blown out 54–0 in their next game by No. 3 Clemson.[86] In the final game of the season, Syracuse lost to ACC rival Pittsburgh by a score of 76–61.[87] The game was the highest scoring in FBS history with a combined score of 137.[88] Syracuse finished 4–8 for the second consecutive year.[89] In 2017, the Orange started 4-3, including a win over #2 Clemson,[90] but they lost their final five games to finish 4–8 for the third straight year.[91]

Rivalries

Boston College Eagles

The two schools first met on October 18, 1924, a 10–0 win for the Syracuse Orange.[92] The Eagles and the Orange began playing an annual game in 1961. To date, Boston College and Syracuse have played each other 46 times.[93] Aside from Holy Cross, no team has played Boston College more than Syracuse. In 2004, the Eagles' last year in the Big East, the Orange pulled off a surprising upset that kept the Eagles from going to their first BCS game. BC's departure from the Big East put the future of the rivalry in doubt. Syracuse's admission into the ACC in 2013 resurrected the rivalry, with the two teams playing each another annually as members of the ACC's Atlantic Division.

Syracuse leads the series 30–19.[93]

Penn State Nittany Lions

Syracuse and Penn State have played 71 times.[94] However, conference realignment and scheduling disagreements have dampened the intensity of the rivalry between the teams. During the 1950s and 1960s the rivalry enjoyed a competitive and often controversial string of contests. Syracuse football was led by legendary coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and Penn State by Rip Engle from 1950–1966 and Joe Paterno from 1967–2011. From 1950 to 1970, Syracuse won 11 to Penn State's 10 games.

As Syracuse football floundered in the 1970s, Paterno's Penn State teams went on to win 16 straight in the series from 1971 to 1986. Penn State fans and players increasingly turned their attention to the Penn State–Pittsburgh football rivalry.

In 1987, Dick MacPherson coached Syracuse to a 48–21 victory over the Nittany Lions in the Dome. Syracuse won again the following year at Penn State, but lost the final two games before the suspension of the series in 1991. After an almost 20-year break in the series, the two programs played in Syracuse's Carrier Dome on September 13, 2008, with the Nittany Lions prevailing 55–13 over the Orange.

Penn State leads the all-time series 43–23–5.[94]

West Virginia Mountaineers

Syracuse and West Virginia have played 60 times. Often, these games have had a bearing on which collegiate program was the best in the East. In much of the '80s and '90s, Syracuse and West Virginia made for one of the Big East's best head-to-head match-ups on a yearly basis.

The Ben Schwartzwalder Trophy annually goes to the winner of the West Virginia and Syracuse football game. The trophy was introduced in 1993 and is named after former WVU football player and Syracuse head coach Ben Schwartzwalder, who had died in March of that year.[95] The trophy weighs 55 pounds and was sculpted by Syracuse player Jim Ridlon.

West Virginia won the first trophy game 43–0 at Syracuse and has gone on to win 11. Syracuse has won the trophy seven times and leads the overall series between the two schools, 33–27.

Although West Virginia left the Big East for the Big 12 Conference in 2012,[96] the two teams met in the 2012 Pinstripe Bowl; Syracuse won 38–14.

Colgate Red Raiders

For many years, Syracuse's main football rivals were the nearby Colgate Red Raiders. Colgate and Syracuse first played each other in football in 1891, with Colgate recording a 22–16 victory. The Red Raiders would go on the win 12 of the first 16 games in the series. Colgate's early dominance in the series quickly gave rise to the legend of the Hoodoo (a play on a corruption of the word Voodoo). The schools have played each other a total of 67 times, with the series tied at 31-31-5.

By the late 1950s, Syracuse had established itself as a major power in Eastern college football, and the games became increasingly one-sided. Following the 1961 contest, Colgate terminated the series, in order to focus on playing smaller, peer institutions.

Following the NCAA's I-A/I-AA split in 1978, the rivalry was intermittently renewed in the 1980s, with Syracuse comfortably winning all three games played in the decade. In 2010, the rivalry was renewed again after a 23-year absence, with Syracuse recording a 42–7 victory.[97][98] The series resumed again in 2016, when Syracuse hosted Colgate in a game played in the Carrier Dome,[99] which Syracuse won 33–7.

Retired numbers

Jim Brown '57, Pro Football Hall of Fame and College Football Hall of Fame fullback

On November 12, 2005, Syracuse University retired number 44 to honor the legacy of those who wore it, as well as the number itself, which has become so associated with Syracuse that the university's ZIP code, 13244, was requested by university officials to remember those who wore 44 for the Orange.[100]

Since 1921, 25 players wore the number and three earned All-American honors. The three most famous No. 44s were running backs Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, and Floyd Little.[101] Brown, who played at SU from 1954–56 and led the team to a Cotton Bowl berth, went on to become the NFL's all-time leading rusher and a member of the Pro and College Football Halls of Fame. He led the league in rushing eight times in his nine years. Many still point to him as the greatest running back of all time.[102]

Davis played for the Orange from 1959–61. He won the 1961 Heisman Trophy, becoming the first African-American to do so, and was a starter on SU's 1959 national championship team. Davis also signed to play with the Cleveland Browns, but the devastating combination of Davis and Brown in the same backfield never came to pass. Davis died of leukemia in 1963. He was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Little was a three-time All-American for the Orange. He played from 1964–66 and led SU to the Sugar Bowl in 1964 and the Gator Bowl in 1966 (teaming in the backfield with Larry Csonka in the latter). Little was the greatest kick returner in Orange history. He led the nation in all-purpose yardage in 1965, averaging 199 yards per game. Little went on to have a tremendous career with the Denver Broncos, winning back-to-back rushing titles in 1970–71. He, too, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.[100]

Facilities

Carrier Dome

The Carrier Dome.

The Syracuse Orange football team plays their games at the Carrier Dome. The Dome is used for several sports at the university and seats 49,250 for football.[1] It is the largest domed stadium of any college campus and the largest domed stadium in the Northeastern United States. The field was dedicated in 2009 to Ernie Davis, the first African American Heisman Trophy winner. The field now reads "Ernie Davis Legends Field" between the 45 yard lines on the home side. Davis's number forty-four was also placed along that yard line. The dedication took place at the Syracuse vs. West Virginia game October 10, 2009.[103] Davis won the award in 1961.

Manley Field House

Built in 1962, the Manley Field House complex houses many of the offices of SU Athletics. It also contains academic rooms and two weight rooms strictly for Syracuse athletes only. Adjacent to the complex there are a variety of fields used for softball, soccer, field hockey, as well as a track for the track and field team. Manley was initially intended as an indoor training facility for the football team, but was soon utilized as a home court for men's basketball.

However, upon completion of the new Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center, which houses practice courts, weight rooms, locker rooms and offices for both the men's and women's basketball teams, the original plans for Manley have come full circle. Syracuse was able to spend more than $2 million to renovate it and create a new state of the art indoor practice facility. Manley now features an indoor FieldTurf practice area, complete with three-lane running track.[104]
