What has been the impact of new coach Fran Brown and transfer quarterback Kyle McCord, and why can't Syracuse stop the run?
Each week we ask a reporter who covers Cal’s next football opponent to answer five questions about that opponent.
This week we asked Syracuse Post-Standard sports writer Chris Carlson five questions about Syracuse , which faces Cal in a noon game on Saturday in Berkeley. We provide an excerpt from each of Carlson’s answers, but you may want to view the entire video for each question to get his complete response.“You could probably say this with most first-year coaches, but he’s brought a lot of energy to a program that sort of hasn’t had it and where a lot of people thought mediocrity was the standard.

For them to accomplish that, they’re probably going to have to finish November the strongest they’ve finished it except that one season in 2018. It would be a good sign that Fran Brown is on the right track.”“The last two games have been horrific. Boston College ran for 313 yards, and pretty much told them they were going to run the ball on every play.
“Elijah Robinson, the defensive coordinator, has come in, he’s running a 4-2-5, more traditional and they don’t have the defensive linemen right now to do that incredibly well. And they’ve had some injuries.”--- 5. Who are Syracuse’s best players?Carlson also mentioned tight end Oronde Gadsden III, and the remarkable touchdown catch he had against Boston College“On defense it’s sort of slim pickings.”“When they’ve won has made big plays.
