Notre Dame vs Syracuse

As an ND fan who currently lives in syracuse I think I have a good insight on this game, depending on which version of ND and SYR show up the game could go in a multitude of directions. The biggest weakness of Syracuse is their secondary, depending on if scoop bradshaw plays syracuse would be without 2 of their top 4 CB's if he doesnt play. Even if he plays I think ND can exploit this. Syracuse has a very good D line with 3 legit NFL prospects- slayton coleman and robinson can downright play. The LB's for syracuse have gotten better all season but I think Dexter Williams will rush for over 200 yrds if ND needs him to. Guthrie LB from Cuse is good, not sure it whitner can do it against ND. If Dungey plays the way he did against NCST and CLEM SYR has a legit shot but if he plays like he did against WMU WAKE UNC LOU the game wont be close for long, i dont think hes on a short leash but devito their backup can sling the ball. If dungey struggles expect him to play. SU's RB's have gotten better from last year, Moe neal is looking more and more like a legit back. In the end I like ND upright and am leaning towards the over. My numbers have ND by 6 so I'd take CUSE with the points. Should be a fun game to watch

Not really....yes, they were up for FSU as there's a lot of history going back 25 years w the Crems.  But after the half, the players (and Kelly) knew it was over.  They went into pound mode.

The big hazzard is that there are a lot of outside activities in NYC before this "Shamrock Series" game.  ND is the #1 big-time college team in Gotham and my bro (former head of ND's Worldwide Alum Assn.) says the schedule has Kelly and the boys everywhere.  That said...there's something different about this team and I think they'll get it done....but prefer to tease that number below a TD.  Just for fun.  (Maybe w/ The Citadel )
