Rutgers football continue their out of conference schedule as they head to the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York to take on the Orange from the ACC. Although they haven’t met on the gridiron since 2012, the Scarlet Knights have a long history with the Orange dating back to 1914. Rutgers haven’t won much in the overall history, but they have taken the last two games in the series, including an overtime victory at Syracuse in 2011.

The Orange started their season with a victory after beating Ohio 29-9 on the road on Saturday. Syracuse was in control of that game and in their home opener, should be playing in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
