Man that felt like the longest bye week in history. Hopefully the Syracuse football team is angry and ready to play, like they should’ve been after the devastating Clemson loss that they could’ve, would’ve, and maybe should’ve had.
People often ask me, how can you tell the difference between good teams and great teams? My answer? You beat the teams you’re supposed to beat. Don’t play around with your food, have a killer instinct, and finish.
Dino Babers says be consistently good not occasionally great, the Orange are still trying to figure it out.
The Orange got the bye week at a perfect time, they got their guys get healthy. Ravian Pierce and Antwan Cordy are expected back, two key stars on both offense and defense.
This North Carolina team is not very good, slightly better than their record indicates when you consider injuries and the things that have gone wrong. But the Orange are better and they have to prove that the 2018 version of this team is different then the past. I see Syracuse annihilating the Tar Heels: 45 to 17.
