Syracuse football is back home after its win over Cal on Saturday, having received some interest from another program across the nation.

ESPN reported on Monday that Temple University is interested in Syracuse offensive coordinator Jeff Nixon for its vacant head coaching position. Nixon’s offense is a huge reason why Syracuse is 7-3, fourth in the ACC in yards per game and are averaging more than 30 points per game. 

“I’m happy that their names are being brought up because it shows that we’re doing a good job overall," said Syracuse football head coach Fran Brown. "I’m going to push them though if that’s what they want to do, or if that’s what I want them to go and do. From what we took out of it when we talked on it, they were just trying to focus on us here and continuing to go and win.” 

Meanwhile, Kyle McCord has accepted an invite to play in the 100th annual East-West Shrine Bowl. It’s the longest-running college football all-star game in the nation.

McCord leads all quarterbacks in the nation in completions this season, and is second in passing yards. The game takes place on Jan. 30 at At&T Stadium in Dallas. 

To the NFL, former Syracuse quarterback Tommy Devito is taking over as the starter for the New York Giants. New York is 2-8 to start the season with Daniel Jones under center, so New York is giving Devito another shot. He went 3-3 in six starts with the Giants last year. 

On Thanksgiving weekend, Syracuse football will host the No. 11 Miami Hurricanes. The ACC announced on Monday that game will kick off at 3:30 p.m. in the Dome.
