This is part one of an ongoing season preview of Syracuse University's 2009-2010 Football Season.

Syracuse Head Coach Doug Marrone will have his first game in Orange on Sept. 5 against the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the Carrier Dome. The game will be the first of three straight for the Orange against Big Ten opponents.

Minnesota begins the campaign following a disappointing season, where the Gophers were 7-1 before losing their final five contests of the season. There should be a sense of optimism in Minneapolis with the Gopher's top offensive threats returning to the team this season.

All Big-Ten freshman DeLeon Eskeridge returns in the backfield, along with Sophomore Shady Salamon, which should create a great dual-back system.

Great Analysis

Terrific write up. They point out one of our weaknesses and call it one of our strengths. These people that pass themselves off as experts or whatever are unbelievable.
