How do you guys seeing that game going in the Carrier Dome Saturaday? The Cuse is undefeated on the season after 3 games for the first time since 1991. But LSU will be tough. I think the Cuse can at least be competitive especially playing at home.
The Cuse vs LSU?

Agreed. Syracuse struggled against Central Michigan and won in OT at home. CMU might be a pretty decent team, but not that great. Syracuse also has QB problems as the starter and 2d string may be out due to injuries. I hope Syracuse is improved, but don't see it happening for them this week.
Playing the Cuse in the Carrier dome is the ultimate letdown game I think for lots of teams. It must be like stepping back in time to play there and Syracuse plays well there.
Although this has the looks of a perfect trap game situation, I see an ugly and tight game for a half and then talent takes over LSU 31-13.

Honestly, I don't think MANY teams will be competitive with this LSU team.
I think LSU ultimately plays Georgia for the SEC title, and probably will win that on their way to the playoff .. where I HOPE Les Miles' coaching finally shows up and the SEC flames out again in round 1 of the playoff.
Syracuse may not surpass 100 yards of total offense. Fournette may get 200 by himself. This game has blowout written all over it.
Somebody's gotta win, somebody's gotta lose...the thing is not to make too many wrong mistakes...after all, even Napoleon had his Watergate.
Spread is LSU -24.
In the 2 games against FBS opponents Syracuse gave up 803 yards in the air on 67/96 att/comp. that was against Wake Forest and Central Michigan and on offense the Cuse's run pass ratio was 67/31.
With LSU being happy to run the ball down teams throats 95/677 yards against Miss St and Auburn they probably will not take advantage of Syracuse's biggest weakness.
Sounds like a slow death for the Orange even if LSU is less than inspired to be there.

Cuse hanging tough ,,, which is pretty amazing, given they're starting the QB who was 5th string and a walk on during spring practice.
I expect LSU to wear em down eventually, but the Orange is playing inspired football right now.

LSU getting the full Carrier Dome experience, up only 7-3 at half. That place is the Bermuda Triangle, Twilight Zone and Little Bighorn all wrapped up in one.
Cuse is the surprise of the ACC in a positive way thus far. I thought they might have to drop their coach mid-season. Their recruiting is abysmal and they were 1-7 in ACC play last year. What surprised me most is that in the beginning of the 2nd half LSU scored 2 quick TDs.... I thought they would open it up and win by 40. Cuse played very well on O, moving the ball and stayed right with LSU the whole time. They may be OK
