At long last all the pieces are in place for the SU Football team's 2012 schedule. A number of factors, namely conference relaignment and the exit of West Virginia delayed the schedule. This year, the Orange will play in three Friday games, two in the Carrier Dome and one on Black Friday at Temple.
Syracuse, unfortunately, is back to one bye week as opposed to a couple as it enjoyed last season. It's only off week is September 29th, meaning a grueling stretch of football from October 5th through November 23rd without a break.
