The anticipation of the regular NFL season is over.
Week 1 is finally here and so is the first edition of This Week on the Gridiron.
Your hosts, Brooke Meenachan, Matt St. Jean and Jude Allume, highlight the top headlines heading into the week, including Ezekiel Elliott’s appeal, Hurricane Irma’s effect on the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and preseason injuries. Plus, we dive into Syracuse University football with Syracuse Scout.com beat writer and former Orange DB, Julian Whigham.
SU is now eliminated from bowl contention for the first time since 2011.
The Carrier Dome hasn’t been kind to the Syracuse Orange this season.
Hoping to keep its postseason hopes alive against Duke on Saturday, the Orange instead dropped its third straight game, 27-10, in front of 39,331 fans on Senior Day. SU will finish 1-5 at the Dome and out of the bowl picture.
