Syracuse enters the 2022 season at a potential turning point for the program. Can the Orange get back to its 2018 form and earn a postseason spot? Syracuse has not made a bowl game in three straight seasons, but there is hope with superstar running back Sean Tucker leading the way along with improved depth and a revamped coaching staff. While this may be the deepest and most talented team Dino Babers has had during his time in Central New York, it is also his most difficult schedule. The Orange started that schedule with wins over Louisville, UConn, Purdue, Virginia, Wagner and NC State. However, Syracuse has since lost five straight to Clemson, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Florida State and Wake Forest. A bounce back win at Boston College ended the regular season
Minnesota started the season 4-0, which led to being ranked as high as 21st. A loss at home to Purdue, however, followed by losses at Illinois and Penn State, put the Gophers at 4-3. Minnesota would win four of its final five, with the lone loss being a home set back to Iowa. Minnesota did not beat a single team that finished the regular season with a winning record. Its best win was a 23-16 triumph at Wisconsin, who finished 6-6. The Gophers boast one of the nation's best defenses and best rushing attacks led by Mo Ibrahim. He finished the regular season with 1,594 yards and 19 touchdowns.
