Syracuse can't have a hangover after Clemson again.
Syracuse, not too surprisingly, lost to #1 Clemson last week. While a sold out Carrier Dome would have loved the upset, it was not meant to be. But that means Syracuse can't have a hangover and they need to get another win.
Western Michigan and Syracuse opened the season last year in Michigan with a shootout. This year, Syracuse is obviously without Eric Dungey, but Tommy Touchdown is equally as capable of making big passes. And the good news is, Western Michigan doesn't have as good of a running back or secondary as Clemson. The bottom line is, of course, this game may be close, but Syracuse should pull away in the 2nd half. Syracuse, despite some offensive line troubles, and a less gaudy offensive putout as last season, shouldn't lose to a MAC team, despite #MACTION. Tim Lester can dial up what he wants, but Syracuse will, as always, have to limit big plays. I'm taking the Orange in this one though. 31 to 24.
This game is available on the ACC Network at Nooner. I'll again be watching after broadcast, but John will be in the house. Syracuse should enjoy a nice home win, despite the crowd not being as big as last week. Nooner doesn't help, but the higher amount of season tickets purchased should still make this an exciting home atmosphere. Have fun, and GO ORANGE!
