Call a week one win what you want, but Syracuse football has a great taste in its mouth heading into the second week of the 2023 season.

On the latest episode of “The Orange Zone Podcast,” sponsored by Billy Whittaker Cars & Trux, Tommy Sladek, Samantha Croston, Ashley Wenskoski and James Mungro look ahead to Week Two. The Orange remain at home, this time going from an FCS opponent in Colgate to a Group of Five foe in the Western Michigan Broncos (02:21-24:33). The team discusses what they're watching for in a still young head-to-head matchup complete with an interview of Kalamazoo-based sports anchor Nate Brown (12:16-24:35).

But what does SU have to work on ahead of Week Two? Despite a dominant win our crew's keeping it real with several spots they'd like to see improvement (24:35-35:26).

Of course no episode would be complete without Producer Brendon's weekly trivia, and he's added a new twist four our four-person team (35:26-41:50) plus the group details some major changes coming to the ACC in 2024 (41:50-46:15).
