Whence last we checked on the annual Following the Compass activity, we had one game set: The Texas Tech Red Raiders would be hosting Lamar in Lubbock, for a bit of early season college football action. We still didn't know what to expect from the other team, the Syracuse Orange.
Well, thankfully, the ACC has finally released their 2018 schedule, and we know exactly where they will be playing for their 7th game of the season. The Syracuse Orange will be taking on the Pitt Panthers, in Pittsburgh on October 6th.
While this isn't one of the premier matchups of the ACC season, Syracuse and Pitt have similar track records. Both squads finished near the bottom of the ACC in 2017, though Pitt had a big win against Miami when they were ranked 2nd in the country, and Syracuse upended Clemson, when they were ranked #2. When they played last year, it was 27-24, in favor of the Orange.
The game will be played at Heinz Field, smack dab between some big matchups for both sides (Clemson and Florida State for Syracuse, and UCF and Notre Dame for Pitt). This might be the most competitive game I'll ever pull from the Following the Compass Archives, and hopefully it is just as exciting as it appears.
