Syracuse, N.Y. — Syracuse football didn’t have the worst week in the ACC. It just felt that way around here, where the hope generated by the Orange’s season-opening win was quickly extinguished by a weak offensive effort against Rutgers.

Still, it was Florida State that came away as the ACC’s biggest loser in Week 2, following an emotional loss to Notre Dame last week with a pathetic one against Jacksonville State that prompted head coach Mike Norvell to apologize to FSU fans.
