Syracuse's roster for their match against Tennessee reveals a freshman linebacker securing the opening position

Syracuse kicked off their football season with a tough match against No. 24 Tennessee, a game that proved to be a struggle for the team. The scoreboard read 45-26 in favour of Tennessee, marking a defeat for Syracuse in their season-opener.

The depth chart for the game, released hours before kickoff, revealed that freshman linebacker Antoine Deslauriers would be starting in Saturday's opener. Deslauriers' starting position at linebacker was a notable development from the preseason, a period that was significant in determining the starting lineup.

However, no specific player's performance was mentioned in the post-game analysis as exceptional or standout. This includes Deslauriers, whose performance in the game remained undisclosed. ABC announcers made a humorous reference to another player, Demetres Samuel Jr., who was seen falling on the turf during the game.

Offensive Coordinator Jeff Nixon led the Syracuse University football team for the Week 1 game against No. 24 Tennessee. The upcoming football game for Syracuse is another challenging match, as they face Tennessee once again.

Fans are encouraged to attend the games and support their team as they navigate through the season. The team, led by fresh talent like Deslauriers, will undoubtedly strive to improve and compete in future matches.
