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

There's a reason the line is only +2
 
This is an opportunity that we need to capitalize on. Somehow, some way.

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.

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.

I think it is time to challenge that 58 ypg rush defense!

We've also allowed marginal QB's to look like 4-5 star recruits and that's going all the way back to when Shafer was just the DC.
 
Yeah I like this matchup because our defense can be confusing for veteran quarterbacks to pick apart, let alone a true freshman. I'm really not concerned about our defense. Our offense is a different story we were having trouble before but now we lack depth, but we'll have to see if the offense comes out there with a chip on their shoulders or not. Mark my words Hunt has a big game.
