If we beat UMD then Notre Dame will be at night.

Why is it wishful thinking? I honestly have no idea now good this team is or isn't. If we played like this against Villanova instead of sleepwalking, losing our QB and not having 2 o-lineman suit up would you chalk it up to wishful thinking? The team i saw today can compete. Run and blitz. Run and blitz. Run and blitz.

Ok I'll man up and agree with you because after watching the ND-Purdue (even though it's an in-State rivalry), ND is beatable - why? Their secondary is suspect because (injuries?) they left Purdue receivers wide open but the Purdue QB was not accurate like Hunt was yesterday or when the Purdue QB did throw a good ball his receivers dropped the ball. I also like our healthy offensive line (they looked so much different with our guards back) giving Hunt enough time to go through his progressions. No sacks that's crazy really. I just wished that CMUs RB played as they weren't the same team that beat Purdue.

If our passing game is on - it's a ball game. Now the real question is if our defense can disrupt their QB without over pursuit - NDs dual threat QB looked very dangerous in the first 2 games and in the 2nd half of the Purdue game.

The true test will be against MD. If we can limit their dual threat QB offensive production (unlike Villanova) and our offense gets even better and sharper, a prime time game may be the best thing for the program long term assuming we can convincingly beat MD next week - Go Cuse.

Gameday went to Arrowhead when Mizzou played Kansas, but our game won't even be close to as good as that one.

Undefeated NC State versus Florida State is a good possible spot for College Gameday. I heard thru the grapevine that a possible spot for Gameday 9-27 is the Yale Bowl for Army vs Yale. That way its a short trip to Metlife for Herbie and Fowler.

 

[orangeinjersey]

it, gameday at the Dome for 5-0 SU vs 5-0 FSU, a man can dream

 

[cuseguy]

It will be a later start regardless if we beat Maryland.

 

[storange]

Wow, Golson is John Robertson x100.

Really.....They struggled against one of the worst power conf teams in football. Not saying ND is bad but What

 

[Chris02M]

don't love that nd gets a bye week before our game

 

[JohnCuse44]

I am all for getting excited but let's take care of Maryland first. I'm going to say assuming we are 3-0 it's an 8:00 PM start on ABC.

Game day is an in campus thing no way ESPN does game day in East Rutherford NJ.

 

[IHeartSUFball]

So if they 6 day window it they need us to win to put at 8pm? Otherwise 330 I guess

someone mentioned that gameday went to arrowhead to see Mizzou vs Kansas a few years ago

Because it's ND. It'll be a night game. Won't matter what we do. Gametime should be announced Monday, I can't see anything this week being a 6-day pick, it's too weak an overall slate.

Don't you guys realize crazy things happen at night in CFB?

Terrell Hunt needs the prime time for his coming out party.

Really wish the ND game was in the Carrier Dome. A 3-0 Syracuse team playing a ranked opponent at night in the Dome would have been a great showcase for our program. I'm not sure what the numbers show but I always thought SU played a little better at home at night. It would have been a sellout and loud. Now, our fans are gonna be outnumbered in a stadium that probably isn't sold out. It's an unforced error, though I still think SU can win if it takes care of Maryland first.

no guarantees could be 7,8 or 330

 

[cuseguy]

Good chance it's a 6 p.m. start.

 

[Chris02M]

Good chance it's a 6 p.m. start.

no 6pm windows so espn must be changing things

 

[cuseguy]

no 6pm windows so espn must be changing things

Yes.

I meant in terms of his ability to scramble and evade tackles.

Would ND have agreed to play us in the Carrier Dome?

 

[omniorange]

Would ND have agreed to play us in the Carrier Dome?

Not at that time. They shopped themselves to Rutgers and UConn before us on the stipulation that the "home" games for the then Big East teams would be at MetLife. The Scarlet Knights and the Huskies said "No".

Future ND games can now be at the Dome, thanks to the ACC deal with the Irish.

Cheers,
Neil

Yeah this thread needs to be shut down because if RandygoDuke message is going down a path I or a lot of people don't want brought up for a while. I mean seriously if you don't know by now about the SU-Notre Dame deal by now your either a newbie to the site or want to bring that debate up for reactions again.
