We should win this game. Imagine if we were starting our no.2 QB-Would anyone expect us to win?

Their defense is talented though. Don't underscore the importance a great defense can have on the outcome of a game. In terms of yds/game allowed, Louisville is #3 in the country at 225 ypg total (167 ypg pass/58 ypg rush) and #9 in defensive scoring at 14 pts/game. By comparison, SU is #54 in the country at 375 ypg total (256 ypg pass/119 ypg rush) and #56 in defensive scoring at 23.5 pts/game. I believe Syracuse has played a tougher schedule to this point, but the difference is significant. Still think SU wins, but it won't be easy.The line doesn't matter to me. We've played well against backup QBs recently. If we don't win this game at home against a True Freshman QB in his second start and an average (at best) OL, it's not a good sign for where the year is going.
