Andrew Carey (8-4)
Prediction: Syracuse wins 49-35

The Camping World Bowl got a lot more interesting this past week when Syracuse.com’s Stephen Bailey broke the news that McKinley Williams and Alton Robinson were suspended from the game.

Obviously Will Grier, Yodney Cajuste, and Gary Jennings are not playing. The teams starting QB, left tackle, and leading receiver will all sit out the game. The news that Robinson and Williams are our balances the scale some what.

With that being said, I still feel that Syracuse has an advantage in this game. West Virginia brings the element of surprise, as the Orange don’t really know what to expect from WVU’s backup QB’s.

Weather also could play a factor into the game as the forecast is calling for rain and thunderstorms. I pray the game doesn’t get cancelled like the BC-Boise State game did. I  will be in attendance rooting on the Orange to a 49-35 win.
