Miami leads the all-time series with Syracuse 15-7 and has won five straight, including the last two on the road. Syracuse dominated early in the series winning four of the first five games that were played between 1960 and 1971. Syracuse is the ninth most common opponent for Miami.
Miami and Syracuse played annually from 1992 through 2002 as members of the Big East. The Hurricanes are 10-2 versus the Orange as members of the ACC and Big East combined. The 2017 game was the only time Miami and Syracuse have played as members of the ACC.
The seven wins by Syracuse under first-year head coach Fran Brown are the most for the Orange since they finished 10-3 under Dino Babers in 2018 and won the Camping World Bowl. Syracuse should clinch its first eight-win season since 2018 on Saturday versus UConn.
