## Resource

Syracuse Orange football fans get a major boost as Steve Angeli returns from injury, injecting optimism and shaking up ACC projections. Can Angeli’s arm and leadership transform Syracuse’s season and push them past low national expectations? With offensive coordinator Jeff Nixon back and breakout candidates like Darius Johnson and Tylik Hill in the spotlight, all eyes are on whether the Orange’s passing game can carry the team back to bowl eligibility. The conversation focused on Syracuse’s strengths—an explosive aerial attack, elite cornerback duo Chris Peal and Demetres Samuel, and a revamped special teams unit led by Tripp Woody. A key theme that emerged was concern over uncertainties in both the offensive and defensive lines, along with lingering questions about the running back room. The discussion explored depth chart surprises, the impact of injuries, and what it will take for Syracuse to outperform predictions. Will the Orange answer their critics with a breakout campaign?
