Paul A. Esden Sr. (contributor) 4-0

This game looks a lot different today then when we were doing our schedule review a few short weeks ago.
Our Orange squad has exceeded our expectations and has demonstrated the potential that we have been waiting for since Dino Barber arrived on the scene. In many ways this game will be the first true test for ‘Cuse.

  • Our offensive line versus one of the best front 7 in the country.
  • The defense has an opportunity to impress against a true freshman QB.
  • Eric Dungey brings his Heisman campaign to Death Valley.

A win for the Orange would bring us not only to a 5-0 record and almost assuredly a lock in the ‘Quest for 6’ it would propel us into the top 25. This squad has shown me enough over the first four games that I am going against my preseason prediction… the Orange win this game 35-27.
