Paulus prepares to lead Orange

The two biggest pieces of news with the Orange this year are a new coach and a new quarterback. Greg Paulus was a star at Christian Brothers Academy, leading the Brothers to a state football championship in 2004. Since then, he's played for one of the elite college basketball programs in the nation. But with one year of college eligibility remaining, Paulus is back to his gridiron roots and ready to lead the Orange onto the field on Saturday. Our Chris Watson has more.

Marrone set to make head coaching debut

There's a second guy getting ready for his debut on Saturday. Well, sort of. Former Orange lineman Doug Marrone, who's said all the right things since being hired as head coach about nine months ago.

Aaron Goldstein has that story.

Marrone would need to go 11-1 this year to have a similar winning percentage. Our Anthony Lima talks SU's schedule.
