Ahh but they were much better than their record...all 11 games on the road.  The real disappointing game was the finale vs BC at Cornell.  The typical Cuse fans like lazy last minute lemmings tried to arrive 12 minutes before kickoff.  I heard their was an epic traffic jam on RT 13 leading into Ithaca...many missed the entire first half.  SU came out flat and lost to BC...good bye Tangerine Bowl--hello Independence Bowl in Shreveport. 
 
The Bowl game (up to that year) was essentially a glorified smaller college bowl game.  Syracuse was the first name team to play in it since the 1A vs 1AA split was forcing them to invite 6-5 Big Boy schools to upgrade the bowl.  Syracuse was matched up versus 11-0 McNeese State out of Lake Charles, LA.  This was the Super Bowl for McNeese St.  Beat Syracuse and they probably get ranked in the Top 25.  After a close first half Syracuse blew them out in the 2nd half.
