Can the Orange keep the momentum going?
The Syracuse Orange (2-0, 1-0) welcome an old rival when the Bye Week U Fightin’ Byes (0-2) visit the JMA Wireless Dome. Here’s what we’re watching for in Saturday’s game:
Kevin: Contain the QB Run
For the Fightin’ Byes to have a chance at the upset, they’ll be looking at the running of QB Myle “Crazy Legs” KcCord. The Orange had some trouble last week with keeping discipline against Haynes King and they need to do a better job this week. Will Fran Brown keep Fadil Diggs as a spy? It seems like he’ll lean in that direction.
Dom: Scoring regression to the mean?
This Syracuse offense can’t be this good… right?!? It probably will with Superman KcCord currently on a revenge tour right now, but a Pac-12 an ACC After Dark versus Stanford looms. The Fightin’ Byes might be able to stall enough momentum for the key to the Orange’s success out of the gate. They will need plenty of alien-like defenders to stop the receiving duo of Gronde Oadsden and Prebor Tena. Jokes (somewhat) aside, it’ll be interesting to see what this offense looks like in its first true road game of the year next week.
