Football fans braved wet, gloomy weather to see Pittsburg vs. Syracuse this past weekend. It was a stormy Saturday in upstate New York, but that didn’t seem to deter thousands of diehard football fans who turned out for the game.
Both teams came into the contest with a record of 2-3. Undoubtedly, each were looking to turn a corner and capture some much-needed momentum that would carry them to additional success this season. The Panthers were 4-0 against Syracuse since both teams joined the Atlantic Coast Conference, but after two tough road games, Syracuse hoped to gain traction at home at the Carrier Dome.
