Predictions Syracuse Game?

[DoctorWho85]

31-20 Naranjas

You worry about getting housed early and they'll be looking to come out aggressive. But we might keep this thing close for 3 quarters (with JF). I worry our OC will fall into that conservative trap in the second half and we have some crucial 3 and outs putting pressure on the D. 2nd and long has not been good for us this year and having the right or wrong answers may determine what happens with the offense. We're going to find out how far Sammis has progressed this year.

Defense is solid if they get a little rest. But we need to be disciplined on special teams and tackle well. I think the D gets us at least one turnover but this game can't be all on them. As always good blocking by the OL is a must. An extra week to recover may help them.

I swear I read somehwere the Cuse's ST is absolutely attrocious this year. The get kicks blocked all the time. The D on Cuse is beatable as long as the our Oline plays fundamentally sound.

Would love that scoreline to be the other way in our favor, or maybe just reverse the numbers 43 - 2 for us as as our one gaffe is giving up a safety. If we get even keeled and unbiased officiating, we have a shot, but only if our offense can move the ball and dominate time of possession keeping our defense fresh.

At first glance it should be a blowout in Syracuse’s favor but when looking at their results they have played some really close games. I’ll go Syracuse by 17 but not be surprised at all if it’s a close one.

If Syracuse plays like they did against Pitt (I think Cuse's QB had like 5 INTs? though some were a bit lucky), then we have a shot. IMO.

heart says 41-13 huskies
head says 41-13 fruit

either way i'm watching it from start to finish

I predict the poster of this Tweet predicting a 20-34 loss for UConn will feel dumb when the game is over. No way our D gives up that many points. We may score 20 (I hope for more) but they WILL NOT score 34 points.

37-20 Cuse

The reality is that even though we have 7 wins, we haven’t comfortably beaten a team since the Buffalo game, and we’ve played some BAD teams since then. Syracuse has the best offense we’ve faced all year, and while I don’t expect the defense to give up 48 like we did in 2022 against Cuse, I think we’ll struggle to stop their pass game.

With that being said, I can see a closer game if Fagnano gets the start and gets the offense going early. I feel like there’s a wide range of possible outcomes in this game, and I won’t be surprised by any of them

If we can’t pressure the QB effectively, the Cuse receivers are going to be a lot to handle.

Nice to see GARS weigh in on this thread. We will get run out of the building if our offense does not show up. I love our D but they can not win the game. The offense has to run the ball to control clock but also hit big passes for points. I would start Fagnano. Our top level receivers deserve to have the chance to make plays. On a side note for some reason our punt receiving team has shown no ability to block the gunners for a few games now. I would find players who want to block and play them so Sheffield can make big returns. Our punt coverage team should have every linebacker and safety on it. Having Jelani Stafford trying to make saving tackles in open space is not smart IMHO.

Until we beat a good team, it's pure betting with one's heart to pick UConn. I'm taking the "prepare for the worst and hope for the best" approach which has never failed me before.

a jet lagged Syracuse coming off of a very long trip from Massachusetts, to California, back to New York, has to play a 12 pm game against a independent right before their major end of season Top 25 game against Miami, and UConn got a bye week
couldn't have been set up better for UConn to pull off the upset, 27-17 UConn

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

We had so much momentum I hope the bye doesn’t slow us down and help heal any leg injuries.

 

[Hskies4Ever]

Not Tyler Pindell?

Jack Sherriffs or we are an unserious program

 

[LBird33]

We have to start out better in the 1st half than we have the last few games.

 

[nycscooby]

Evers starts and we fall behind 20-0 at half. Mora makes the switch for the second half but it’s too
late. Offense shows life under Joe, Cuse 34-17

 

[uconntailgater]

Syracuse has a very veteran secondary, which I think will cause problems for our passing game. I think they’ll stack the box and dare us to throw the ball. Hoping for the best but I have a feeling we’re goi to be in for a long afternoon today.

So its halftime and Syracuse is out-driving by as much as twice total yardage. This game could get out of hand depending on UConn's first drive. If UConn is going to have a shot - the defense has to do something they have not yet done Stop the SU offense. Otherwise I predict this gets ugly and as fans we will be wanting to turn this off and tune out the rest of this one.

Nah, I think it'll be a one touchdown game. 24-31.

....well the otherwise didn't happen but the outcome was not great.

 

[ktuck911]

Because our defense seems to be able to turn it up a notch in the 2nd half of games this season I think we got a shot... our offense has to do their part... can't come out the gate too inconsistent.. with that said I say we fall just short (27-24)

I almost got the final score right
