The Orange had a great first season under first-time head coach Fran Brown, going 9-3 and 5-3 in the ACC and knocking off Miami in the regular season finale. Syracuse is headed to the Holiday Bowl and will take on Washington State on December 27th. Leading the charge in Syracuse's outstanding season was former Ohio State transfer quarterback Kyle McCord, who had the best season of his career, throwing for 4,326 yards and 29 touchdowns to 12 interceptions. He broke the program's single-season records for completions, passing yards, and total touchdowns and led the country in passing yards during the regular season and ranked fourth in total passing touchdowns.

McCord, who finished 10th in the voting for the Heisman Trophy, has exhausted his eligibility, which means that Syracuse, like Virginia, is on the prowl for a new quarterback in the transfer portal. Could the Orange pick Anthony Colandrea as their next quarterback?

In two seasons in Charlottesville, Colandrea played in 19 games and made 17 starts, including starting each of Virginia's first 11 games of this season before getting benched in favor of Tony Muskett in the regular season finale at Virginia Tech. Colandrea was Muskett's backup as a true freshman in 2023, but wound up playing a great deal and starting six games as Muskett missed significant time with injuries. Making the most of those opportunities, Colandrea set the UVA freshman quarterback records for completions (154), passing yards (1,958) and total offense (2,183), performances that gave him a leg up in the quarterback battle with Muskett going into the 2024 season.

Ya think we have a chance?  ;)
