The last regular season game of the season. Time to show up.
Syracuse got smacked up by a very good Notre Dame team. There is a reason they are undefeated and also #3 in the nation. They may be a little underrated frankly. Either way, now Syracuse heads into their last game with rival Boston College in Chestnut Hill (not Boston). Can Syracuse finish the season strong and finish with their highest win total in a very long time?
Syracuse takes on Boston College with a big question hanging over them. Will Eric Dungey play? While Eric was apparently able to get in and out of a hot tub to chat with Dino Babers and Tommy DeVito, he has stopped short and said he was unsure if Dungey would start. Either way Tommy DeVito has prepared as if he is starting so I'm actually not worried about the QB position. Unlike last week, the Defensive Line of Boston College isn't as talented as Notre Dame, so even DeVito will have much more time to be able to make plays. Similarly, the secondary will not cover the SU receivers like ND. Honestly, Syracuse will be able to score against Boston College. The question will be, can they score more than BC? Or more accurately, can the Syracuse defense stop AJ Dillon from breaking off big runs? If Syracuse's defense can make some plays and win the turnover battle on the day, more importantly if Syracuse can avoid interceptions, Syracuse should be able to win the game. The weather should be clear and low to mid-40's, so it shouldn't be a factor in the game, save for the wind. But that being said, this game should be close. Syracuse needs to make timely plays on 3rd down. The good news is that the top Special Teams will be a factor in this one, unlike last week. Field position will help Syracuse to hold Boston College from running up the game. I'm taking Syracuse to finish the regular season and head into a Bowl Game with a win. 34 to 31.
This game is available on the flagship ESPN at 12:00pm. This is also available on WatchESPN. Both John (ugh) and I will be in Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill. It should be a fun one. While Diamond Ferri isn't showing up, it should be a good display for a very good finish in the ACC Atlantic Division. BC sucks and always will... and GO ORANGE!
