In back-to-back seasons, the Orange are bowl-bound following the win over Wake Forest. Safety Jason Simmons Jr. secured the victory with a goal-line interception for win No. 6. Now, it’s time to start thinking about post-season play and how the Orange have fared in recent bowl games.

  • Military Bowl (Duke def. UCF)

  • Gasparilla Bowl (Wake Forest def. Missouri)

  • Birmingham Bowl (East Carolina def. Coastal Carolina)*

  • Pinstripe Bowl (Minnesota def. ‘Cuse) — more on this later

  • Fenway Bowl (Louisville def. Cincinnati)

This is the second straight season Syracuse will be going bowling and, as such, we thought it would be appropriate to recap the past five bowls the Orange have played in.

As you can see, the Orange have won four of the last five bowl games with three appearances in the Pinstripe Bowl down in the Bronx. ‘Cuse has played West Virginia and Minnesota twice in that span during post-season play.
