A turtle is about as intimidating as a big orange.
Syracuse had a flat start on offense against Liberty in Week 1. But that was Week 1. Can Syracuse come out throwing and dominating a team on the road to start the year 2-0?
Tommy DeVito really looked like he had some Week 1 yips. He really didn't have any pressure on him coming in to try and win against UNC last year. But this year, it's the DeVito show. He knows that. And after his first win, and another week of game prep, he should come out firing on the first couple of series, backed up by some solid runs, and I think Syracuse will be off and running. Maryland had a huge game against an HBCU last week, and won by over 70. But anyone that is a D1 FBS team should have been able to do that. Maryland has a lot to prove this week, and the Syracuse pass rush will be a lot bigger and tougher than Howard was. No chance Maryland will be ready to block everyone they need to block. While this game will probably be close than Syracuse fans will like, this should be a solid win to set up next week's showdown. And no, I don't think Syracuse will be looking past this one, like they may have in the past. Syracuse over the Terps 34 to 24.
This game is available on ESPN, the flagship, at nooner. Both John and I will be watching, however I'll have to bag out of the 2nd half. Either way, I expect a nice win today. And as always, GO ORANGE.
