Game Overview
Syracuse Orange hosts UConn Huskies in Week 2 of the 2025 college football season. Syracuse is looking to rebound after a home loss to Tennessee, while UConn arrives with a 1-0 record and recent road struggles against Power 4 teams.
Key Factors to Consider
- Syracuse lost 26-45 to Tennessee but showed strong offensive yardage with 377 total yards and a potent passing attack led by QB Steve Angeli. UConn is 1-0 and has struggled historically in road games at Syracuse, especially on defense allowing over 300 passing yards on the road last season.
- Syracuse has dominated recent meetings, winning all four matchups since 2016 by double digits with an average margin of nearly 20 points. The Orange also decisively won last year's meeting with a strong passing game and no turnovers.
- No significant injury reports on either side affecting starting QBs or key defenders.
- The game is at Syracuse's home stadium. The Huskies historically have had difficulty winning on the road against Syracuse. Weather conditions expected to be neutral with no forecasted impacts.
- Syracuse seeks redemption after a season-opening loss and to maintain dominance over UConn, who aim to prove themselves against a stronger opponent away from home.
