Notre Dame vs Syracuse Predictions – NYC 2:30 PM EST NBC

Syracuse strategy is pretty simple – play fast, keep the ball and score 40 points. In other words just hit 40 and you will win out.

Syracuse is ranked 12 with an 8-2 record losing only to Clemson 27-23 and Pitt 42-37. They should have won the Clemson game. They do have an all around good team and a dual threat QB Eric Dungy who likes to roll out and pass and or run. He’s completing 52% of his passes with 14 TD’s and 5 Picks.

So the strategy for ND should be to hammer this guy every play and keep him in the pocket. In all likelihood ND will spy him.

For ND they get Ian Book back and NYC is a great place for Dexter Williams to put on a show. To all the ND players hoping for a shot at the Pros this is a damn good stage.

I look for Syracuse to hang with ND through the 1st quarter after which ND will demolish them.
