- The Syracuse defense has been playing great for the past 5 games or
- so, with the possible exception of the secondary. The defensive
- line is noted for being one of the best rushing defenses in the
- country, and even did a heck of a job against Miami.
-
- The secondary can get sloppy and burned now and then, but on the
- whole has improved tremendously from the beginning of the season.
-
- I think Syracuse's offense is far too explosive for Colorado to
- handle, with weapons at every position and a bery balanced attack.
- After seeing Colorado get destroyed by Nebraska, I don't think
- they will be able to run with the Orangemen.
-
- My prediction:
-
- Syracuse 28 - Colorado 10
-
- Of course, I'm a Syracuse fan.
