Syracuse University has successfully opened its 2026 fall athletic season with a dominant performance by the football program. On September 5, the Orange defeated the New Hampshire Wildcats 66-3 at the JMA Wireless Dome. The offense produced 513 total yards, highlighted by quarterback Steve Angeli, who completed 20 of 29 passes for 263 yards and three touchdowns. Umari Hatcher led the receiving corps with 147 yards and two scores, while freshman Shavane Anderson Jr. contributed 102 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 10 carries. Defensively, Syracuse recorded 11 sacks and limited New Hampshire to just 155 total yards. ~~For the Wildcats, linebacker Trevor Barry recorded 11 tackles.~~ This victory follows the university’s introduction of several stadium upgrades and fan experiences, such as the ‘Cuse on the Quad’ and the Toyota Fun Zone. Following a bye week, head coach Fran Brown has addressed the team’s preparation for the upcoming game against the UConn Huskies. Despite media speculation regarding a change at the quarterback position, Brown confirmed that Steve Angeli will remain the starter, noting that Angeli is “better prepared and showing improved movement during practice.” The coaching staff has focused on addressing pre-snap penalties, missed tackles, and offensive consistency. Personnel updates include the return of top recruit Calvin Russell and an expected increased role for Ahmad Miller, while Shay Barker is set to handle place-kicking duties. Brown also noted that the offensive line is working to resolve struggles in long-yardage situations. Other Syracuse Olympic sports continue their seasons, with field hockey holding a 2-0 record, men’s soccer at 2-1, women’s soccer at 3-1-2, and volleyball at 0-2.
