BC opens -1.5 over Cuse….

[dwilmont44]

Cal is +13 on turnovers. Basically getting two more turnovers a game than their opponents. And they are still not winning games. They have an opportunistic secondary and a decent quarterback and a good tight end.

I know this is a big if, but if we don’t turn the ball over, I like our chances.

Well we do turn the ball over. Let's hope it's not for touchdowns.

Id bet cuse money line if I could bet on this game in Boston.
Don’t wait till you get to boston to bet it

 

[GeauxSU]

They might run the read option the whole game

 

[David321]

All we have to do is play two halves of football instead of one and we'll smoke them.

 

[rocklloyd]

Mobile qb is not great match up for us. We’ll see

 

[690West]

Up to -2 at a few books. Slightest bit of early money coming in masshòlè

Wow, thought it would go the other way…

 

[Marsh01]

I do not like this matchup. I know BC’s on a three game skid but I’m nervous having a new Coach go up against that staff. BC’s playing for its life, hopefully Fran keeps us motivated and focused.

Efffff BC

 

[690West]

Got anything on Lemoyne game tomorrow

-22.5

It never flows towards cuse

 

[Trueblue25]

Efffff BC

Oh I agree. I’ve just learned to hate these should be lay up games against them

-22.5

Thanks I saw it on FanDuel this morning

We usually win up there and usually lose at home to them, it is a strange series

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Line looks about right, pretty even match up really. I worry their QB and O'Brien might scheme a few run plays and pound the ball down our throats and bully us all over the field. Syracuse going to need to score some serious points because the defense will give up some.

 

[Timonen]

Cal will be a very difficult game for us to win. It's a cross country trip which is inherently difficult. Cal's four losses are by a combined 9 points. They were blowing Miami out and just collapsed at the end. They had Pitt beat on the road but couldn't make a game winning field goal.

Cal could be checked out by our game. When there’s nothing real to play for, most quality players across the country are gonna back down some. Maybe not all, but gotta think that will play in at some level

 

[FrancoPizza]

Matchup wise how is this different than Georgia Tech? Both were run-heavy teams with a mobile QB.

 

[GoSU96]

19-11 since 87, 9-4 in Boston. 4-1 last five.

 

[Eric15]

Same line at pretty much every book so far.

If we win on Saturday, that will be our 4th outright win this year (GT, UNLV, VT) when we were an underdog. I feel like that has to be impressive for us compared to prior years.

 

[upperdeck]

2012 we won 3
2013 we won 3
2016 we won 3
2018 we won 3

 

[qdawgg]

My guess is we do a lot of creative game planning on defense this week



and on Saturday reveal a 3 man front for 75% of the game.

That loss in 94 was the worst Syracuse loss i've been to. I've never seen a defense suffocate a Syracuse team (that wasn't bad) like that. Mamula and Boyd dominated that day. We missed on a bowl on that game.

The wvu shutout the next week is what did it…

Our defense kept us in the game against VT though, they had a solid game.

Same! I’m was convinced Glen Foley was a future hall of famer, too.

Surely you jest. Did you not see how we tried to let them score before halftime when they kept trying to run the clock out?
