Everett Golson Has Got It Going On
Syracuse vs Notre Dame Preview (CBSSports.com)
Everett Golson playing mistake-free football is a major reason why Notre Dame is off to an unbeaten start.
Syracuse's bid to stay perfect heading into this matchup ended thanks to turnovers and other miscues.
These teams meet for the first time in six seasons Saturday night, and the eighth-ranked Fighting Irish and Orange will both be looking to win for the first time at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

The Orange face No. 8 Notre Dame in a neutral-site matchup Saturday night at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the home of the New York Giants and Jets.
It's a big game for both teams, but for Syracuse it's especially huge. The Orange (2-1) are listed as 12-point underdogs against the Irish (3-0), who are coming off a bye week.

The Orange still lost 34-20.
