Syracuse and UConn to face off in college football matchup

Syracuse University and the University of Connecticut are scheduled to face each other in a non-conference college football matchup on Saturday, October 3, at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field. The game is set for a noon kickoff and will be broadcast on the CBS Sports Network.

Syracuse enters the game with a 1-2 record, while UConn holds a 2-2 record. The matchup features a significant historical trend, as Syracuse has won the last six meetings between the two programs. UConn has not defeated the Orange in 16 years.

Syracuse is currently navigating a lengthy period away from its home stadium, part of a 35-day stretch on the road. The team has relied heavily on younger players this season, with underclassmen accounting for over half of the team's offensive touchdowns and nearly 70% of its rushing yards.
