Interesting writeup.
They give UConn credit for how well they played Syracuse last year, UConn's record setting game with CCSU, acknowledge Syracuse no longer has their record setting QB from last year and then pick the bad guys by 11, a larger margin than last year.
The trends they mentioned could lead to a surprise.......

Well, in fariness, if there’s a more likable opposing coach out there, I haven’t seen him yet. What a class act.

I want to win the game, but there’s nothing special about Syracuse for me but if ever there was a chance for a signature win to let the rest of college football know this isn’t the same old UConn - this would be it.

For me, the difference makers - experience the quarterback, and some NFL speed out on the field on offense - that I’m not so sure that we’ve had since early Edsall - and even then - not so sure. Bell looks like a terror for any Div 1 team out there - Joe gets him the ball like he has been and anything is possible on Sat.
 
Syracuse fans think they held back vs Tennessee and will paste UConn by 20 pts.

Jack Nicholson Yes GIF

One FBS win, won't do it. If we win, the narrative will just be that it's a down year for Syracuse. We need to consistently beat lower tier FBS teams to change our narrative. Step one on that journey was completed last year when, other than Maryland, we were consistently competitive.

It took a long time to dig the deep dark hole that UConn football found itself in. It's going to take a while to climb out. One step (rung?) at a time.
 
DL and LB play on our end will dictate this thing (my opinion)... We come out and play the way we played against CCSU ( a much more inferior opponent ) we will get molly-whopped... That 'Cuse QB will tear us apart the way the kid they had the last 2 year did... He's a P5 level QB... We may see a little better play against us from their freshman phenom who just turned 17 this past April ... He's a starting DB, but also plays on the other side of the ball at WR (Demetres Samuel, Jr.).. and remember they have 6'1 235lb bowling ball RB Yasin Willis ( a real problem at that size ), not to mention Texas WR transfer Johntay Cook...

on a brighter note, at least this wasn't our week 1 opponent like what we experienced against Maryland last year... We've had some actual live game action this time around... also, this 'Cuse squad is from a finished product... they make mistakes... Hopefully they make a few against us an we capltalize. ( Love our QB WR tandem in Fagnano and Bell... Hopefully we see Porter make a deep ball play or 2 as well ... big opportunity for him here )
