Syracuse football prepares for opening season game against New Hampshire
Summary

Syracuse football is set to open its season against New Hampshire this Saturday. The Wildcats enter the matchup under new head coach Sean Goldrich, who recently took over for Rick Santos. New Hampshire is coming off a week one performance where the team allowed 374 rushing yards and recorded eleven penalties. Defensively, linebacker Trevor Berry serves as a key player to watch after logging thirteen tackles in the season opener.
