Podcast: Two alums say Syracuse football on verge of 'great things'

Anyaegbunam (class of 2013) played offensive line, while Lynch (2015) was a star linebacker. The two have remained close since their Orange playing days and joined The Juice on the Cuse Podcast to discuss the arrival of Fran Brown, the direction of the program, their post-playing careers and advice for the current student-athletes. Lynch went on to an NFL and broadcasting career, while Anyaegbunam has excelled in his law practice.

"Syracuse being on the precipice of being on some really great things," Anyaegbunam said. "With their culture they're building, with the new facilities that are coming in,, and with all of the alumni I've been speaking to, the excitement is palpable for Syracuse football."

The two plan on taking Brown up on his offer of returning to campus for a practice that is open exclusively to alumni of the program.

"Fran's keeping it hot," Lynch said. "He's keeping it humble and openly transparent. And whenever you can do that, we are going to get the best of the best. Communication is the biggest thing, and I think he's one of the better communicators I've seen."

Afterward, we discuss Syracuse's 69-58 win over Pitt on Tuesday evening on the road. It was SU's first ACC road win, and also first Quadrant 1 win of the season.
