As has been proven throughout the annals of time, the best way to predict the outcome of this game we call football is to delve into the quality and number of former players drafted by the New York Football Giants. Advanced metrics have shown a strong correlation between the two. They say that 60% of the time, it works every time. So let's take a look at the California Golden Bears vs the Syracuse Orangemen...
Number of Players Drafted by the Giants
Syracuse- 9
Cal- 5
Advantage: Cuse, early lead could we finally get the O to have a good start?
Highest Drafted Giants Player
Syracuse- 19th overall
Cal- 87th overall
Advantage: Cuse, hopefully we don't let Cal back into this
Offensive Players
Syracuse- Justin Pugh OL (2013 1st Round, 19th overall), Bruce Tarbox OL (1961 2nd Round), Joe Morris RB (1982 2nd), Ryan Nassib QB (2013 4th), David Tyree WR (2003 6th), Bob Yates OL (1960 7th)
Cal- Davis Webb QB (2017 3rd Round, 87th overall), Doug Riesenberg OL (1987 6th), John Tuggle RB (1983 12th), Bill Hachten OL (1947 13th)
Advantage: Cuse
Tuggle was Mr Irrelevant in 1983 and the first one to actually make his team's final roster. He went on to be the Giant's Special Teams player of the year his rookie season. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with cancer and passed away before the 1986 season. The team had his number on their helmets that season. There was a 30 for 30 Short called The Irrelevant Giant.
Defensive Players
Syracuse- Will Allen DB (2001 1st Round), Jay Bromley DL (2014 3rd), Jerry Kimmel LB (1986 10th)
Cal- Jeremiah Parker DL (2000 7th)
Advantage: Cuse, is it possible that we win all 4 Qs for once? A complete game?
There you have it folks. The stats don't lie. The team finally puts a complete game together, as the Syracuse Orange defeat the Cal Bears. Until next time.
