Pep Talk?

Sheesh, this board is quiet less than 48 hours before the UNC game. Did all the leaves fall off the trees in CNY this week? Is everyone getting their apple picking done before the game?

I realize the last two games were a kick in the gut but we stand a good chance of being at 5 wins by Saturday night with half our schedule left to go. Surely that is worth getting excited about. We've got two starters coming back on offense. A chance to score 40+ again ... anything else we're looking forward to on Saturday?

Looking forward to a win, however we get it!

I'm looking forward to being there. The only game I will be attending this season. Bringing 7 other guys with me, 2 of which will be cheering for UNC. Looking forward to seeing Syracuse put on a good show in front of my UNC guys

Mo has definitely left the building. Two straight losses, a bye and basketball starting are factors in casual fan losing interest. Big game this weekend. I will be there and bringing two extra people this week. I have faith in Dino and this team. I expect a two touchdown win. Let's go Orange.

Everyone shifted to the basketball side for a night or two on a count of Zombie Boeheim imposing his will (potentially)

Team will be ready to go... I think this is a tougher game than most anticipate... this UNC Team is more talented than their record let’s on.

Still, a great opportunity at home to continue a successful season. These are the games you have to win to take the next step.

I think this is more of a 27-21 type game than a shootout. UNC QB is avg at best in comparison to the rest of the league, I think they try to line up and pound the ball. I’ll be looking for one key adjustment in our base D. It'll be telling if they spend a lot of time in 20/21 personnel early.

Big stat - 3rd down conversions (their O vs our D)... if they’re converting, imo, the game has the potential to be a lot more difficult. Shut down their run game and we cruise.

I just got back from Krakow, (pronounced Krakov) Poland and am suffering from jet lag. Therefore, I am ready to see the Orange kick North Carolina's a$$.

Looking forward to putting NC State back in their place.

Unfortunately the Pitt loss took some of the excitement away. I think many casual fans left the building after that.

Looking forward to putting NC State back in their place.

Beat them up before we play them.
