The Atlantic Coast Conference released its 2020 schedule Wednesday morning, including Syracuse’s upcoming conference matchups.
Along with nonconference opponents Rutgers, Liberty, Western Michigan and Colgate, the Orange will face ACC Atlantic foes Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, Louisville, Wake Forest and North Carolina State. Syracuse will also face two ACC coastal opponents: Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh.
SU opens with back-to-back road games for the second-straight year. Syracuse opens the 2020 season on a Friday night in September at Boston College before traveling to face the Scarlet Knights in New Jersey a week later.
A year after a week three primetime showdown, SU’s matchup with Clemson has moved back to October — the Orange will head to Death Valley on Oct. 24, facing a Tigers squad that will then be heading into an off week.
Syracuse also faces Georgia Tech for just the second time since joining the ACC, hosting the Yellow Jackets for the first time as conference opponents. GT demolished the Orange, 56-0, when they last played in 2013.
