Football at Syracuse University officially began on November 23, 1889 with an intercollegiate game against the University of Rochester. Though they lost their first game, football teams at Syracuse University would go on to produce a strong organization. Syracuse University has had 41 All-American players throughout its history including Jim Brown, Heisman Trophy winner Ernie Davis, Floyd Little, Vic Hanson, Tim Green, Larry Csonka, Don McPherson, and Donovan McNabb. Notable coaches with winning seasons include Ben Schwartzwalder, Frank Maloney, Dick MacPherson, Paul Pasqualoni, Doug Marrone, and Dino Babers. In 1959, Syracuse University had an undefeated season under Coach Ben Schwartzwalder, including a victory against the University of Texas at Austin in the Cotton Bowl, thus winning the national championship. Syracuse University's second undefeated season was in 1987 under Coach Dick MacPherson, but that season ended in a tie with Auburn University in the Sugar Bowl. Over the years, Syracuse University football has won 15 of the 25 bowl games they've appeared in.
The Syracuse University Football Collection includes game programs, tickets, promotional materials, game records, schedules, publications, office files, and other materials about football at Syracuse University from 1889 to 2014.
