Ya, this was expected and I was hoping so. I am saving $$ for some bball tourny games this year and if there was a bowl I would be less interested in, it would be an outside one. However, the uniqueness of this bowl at Yankee Stadium can nearly eliminate the pain of cold weather, but of course to simulate the game at home, I will have plenty of queso and
to go around.
Another reason I was hoping for this game, simply put, Syracuse is very beatable. The big east is down big time this year. WV supposedly is the best team in the conference and they managed 8 wins.
Let me breakdown the past 4 games for the cuse:
11.5 avg points scored
7 turnovers
258.5 avg total yards
172.5 avg rushing yards allowed
Nassib (their qb) has 1 passing TD
They are lacking a top RB and have KSU avg style receivers
Their defense in my opinion looks good on paper, but against below avg opponents
Should we win, no question about it. Probably finish the game looking at each other wondering why they didn't play like that all year.
