Getting another win would be nice.
Syracuse heads back home after an unflattering loss in Florida to take on old rival Boston College. Somehow Syracuse is favored. Can Syracuse pick up a win against a division rival?
The defensive game plan is simple. Stop AJ Dillon and force BC to have to make throws. If Syracuse can stuff the box and keep BC in 3rd and long situations, that will put pressure on the BC Quaterback, who hasn't had the best season. BC is 101 in the nation in passing offense this season. Syracuse can take advantage with a defensive unit that forced a lot of turnovers last year, and are more than capable of making a few interceptions. Winning the turnover battle at home to give more opportunities to score will go a long way to ensure Syracuse will be able to win the game. Obviously Syracuse has to take care of the ball themselves, but they have to again go with a quick passing attack and try and get more yards on the ground. If Syracuse is able to create some long runs to stretch the defense, that will obviously take a little pressure off the offensive line protection scheme and give Tommy DeVito more time to make plays, which he is more than capable of doing when healthy. Keeping him off the ground is always paramount, but scoring points at this point in the season is even more critical. I like Syracuse is at home and I like BC hasn't set the world on fire this season. I'm taking Syracuse in a tight one at home, 31 to 24.
This game is available nationally on The ACC Network at noon. John will be in the Dome. I'll be on the field and unavailable to watch. Enjoy. Remember, BC sucks and always will... and GO ORANGE!
