Look at this yellow bastard.
Syracuse is in the unusual position of playing only ACC games to start their season, and in one big ACC division. That hasn't fared well so far. But Syracuse now has the opportunity to get a win against a team they don't play often in Georgia Tech.Babers during the week has said that Tommy DeVito is still the starting QB, and he should be good to go after taking a big hit at Pittsburgh. But Rex Culpepper will be playing at some point. Hopefully that will be throwing dime touchdown passes and not whatever wildcat bullshit in the Red Zone they tried to previously run. Either way, Syracuse will have to score on offense, and stop the G'Tech rushing attack on defense. While everyone knows Syracuse's offense is the worst in the league, thus they are 0 and 2, G'Tech is more of a mystery. They stunned FSU in their opener, but then got smoked by UCF last week. So no one really knows what this G'Tech team is made of. However, if Syracuse is unable to stop the run in the 4th quarter, this one will get out of hand fast like UNC. Syracuse will need to key in on the dual threat of QB Jeff Sims and bottle him up, as well as Jahmyr Gibbs, who leads the Yellow Jackets in all purpose yards. If Syracuse is able to do that for four full quarters, then they have a shot. Putting more than 1 TD on the board, and scoring in the Red Zone would go along way as well. Plus there is some pride on the line to not lose the first game after the new Dome roof has been put on. I do think Syracuse shows up in this one, but it will be tighter than we all want. Syracuse over G'Tech 27 to 17.
This game is available regionally (but not in a big part of Upstate, NY) at 12:00pm. Check your local listings here. Otherwise, it should be available either on the ESPN App, or the Fox Sports App. Both John and I will be watching from home, of course as no fans are allowed in the new open Dome. But here's hoping for a brighter Saturday for us all. GO ORANGE!
