I have been a skeptic when it come to this new coaching staff but they are getting better. This is a perfect spot for this Syracuse team today. Lou, Wv, and Pitt were to good with to much speed, this is a drop in class, Syracuse will play like they have the last 3 wks and that will be good enough to win. They can physically play with these guys. Cin has wins over S Fla, Akron and Miaoh, not saying much but Syracuse is better than that. Last yr these two played a close one and both teams held the ball for 30 mins. Syracuse was in the new system for the first time and played two qb's, they both passed for a total of 285yds. Syr has changed the (O) coordinator again this yr and I believe the play calling is better. This will be Pattersons 3rd game against Cin and he is 1-1 . The L2 games were split 22-16 & 19-7. Love a team that lost a game to a team the yr before that they new they should have won and physically can win. Syracuse is that team. I have been hot , this one will pay.
