Team and program have focused on this game for a month and they know they muffed the Maryland game
They usually chirp a lot leading up to a game, but have been relatively quiet this week which to me means they are seriously focused.
They also know that they fudged up big time with Maryland and are now in scramble mode to 'steal' one
ND has been ok ... not top ten like (outside Michigan game, and they are mediocre)
ND has mentioned Stanford as much as Syracuse this week
I just feel so calm and relaxed this week ... like I did during the Louisville and West Virginia games in the past few years
This isnt USC with Barkley and WR's galore
This isnt PSU with Drew Allen as QB
This is an opportunity, and I am confident we see an impressive Syracuse effort tomorrow night
