SWC - Why We Will Win Colgate Edition

[PAcuse]

1. Size Matters – The Orange OL is averaging 6’5” / 318 lbs, compared to Colgate’s DL at 6’3” / 269 lbs. That’s not a matchup, that’s a buffet. Syracuse’s backs will be running behind a wall that’s 50 lbs per man heavier.
   
   
2. Depth Chart Flex – Syracuse’s 2s and 3s would be Colgate’s 1s. This isn’t arrogance, it’s just the talent gap.
   
   
3. History Lesson – Syracuse hasn’t lost to Colgate since 1950. That’s before color TV, Disney World, and pizza delivery as we know it.
   
   
4. Second-Half Swagger – Against UConn, the offense came alive with 239 yards and 2 TDs in the 4th quarter, while the defense clamped down and allowed just 6 points in the half + OT. That rhythm carries forward.
   
   
5. Speed Kills – Syracuse isn’t just fast, we’ve got layers of speed. If Colgate blinks, they’ll be watching orange jerseys streak by.
   
   
6. Depth + Development – Injuries sting, but depth is finally here. Backups getting reps now means the future looks even brighter.
