Item: Much as been made, for which the comments were intended to do exactly that, concerning the outward proclamations of his football program’s quest for national recognition, uttered last week by Orange AD Daryl Gross.
With a top 10 FBS strength of schedule ranking, virtually every week of the season for a Syracuse football program lodged in the ACC Atlantic Division (Florida State, Clemson) is going to provide an opportunity to raise eyebrows with an upset victory, and continue to create the path towards national relevancy, which was the rightful theme that Gross delivered last week during one of his scheduled broadcast appearances on ESPN Syracuse.
