Syracuse Football: Week 9 Florida State Seminoles crystal ball predictions

Josh Peelman, Contributor (4-3)

Prediction: Florida State beats Syracuse 38-24.

Syracuse has been close to victories in the last two games, but both times bad officiating sealed the deal for the opposing team.

This week it does not get any easier with a road game in Tallahassee. The Seminoles have played lousy as well of late, but not as bad as the Orange. I see the Orange showing some heart on the road keeping it close for a while, but ultimately the offense stalls too much again behind multiple sacks allowed by the offensive line and that’s Syracuse’s undoing.

I see the game starting to slip away midway through the third quarter and the Orange never recover, while Florida State rolls at home. I hate to say it, but this will probably be a game to forget Orange fans. A bowl game seems like a fond memory. I am usually the optimistic one, but this year has been tough. Here’s hoping I’m wrong and the Syracuse football team finally surprises us.
