Syracuse wins 45-20.

Saturday’s road matchup against Pitt is a game that the favors Syracuse in almost every aspect. The Orange have the better offense, the better defense, and the better special teams.

However, Syracuse still needs to continue to play their brand of football in order to get the win this week.

Following the recipe for from their first four wins of the season by putting a bunch of points on the scoreboard, pressuring the opposing quarterback, and forcing turnovers should be enough for the Orange to earn a victory over the Panthers on Saturday.

After a season-low 61 rushing yards against Clemson last week, Syracuse’s run game should be able to get back on track against Pitt on Saturday. The Panthers are allowing just over 200 rushing yards per game this season and the Orange should be able to finish with that amount or more this week.

Syracuse should definitely be able to get a win on Saturday and if they do, it will be their first road victory against Pitt since 2001.
