I have a friend that is a coach on Syracuse. He said they are gonna get murdered by Clemson. He is telling me to lay big money on Clemson covering...haha
Syracuse lost to Penn St and got blown away by Northwestern, and followed that up by beating up Wagner and Tulane... And Clemson is supposed to struggle with ****ty team because the turf isn't crowned and it is going to be 85 degrees in there?!?
Well ****! Just lost the money I put down on The # 3 ranked team in the country who is supposed to be a contender for the national title!
If this game is within 2 tds Clemson should drop in the rankings!
Carrier Dome is no paradise, there's no A/C (amazing considering the sponsor, doh) and it is going to be a warm day in Syracuse. Orange has had more then a few upsets on a historic basis on their home field. So it could be interesting. Still think Clemson wins it but don't be surprised if it's closer than expected. A full house is expected and that's a lot of trapped heat. Sometimes it get's a bit foggy inside. Games in November - no problem, except for the snow!
Spot on regarding what it's like in the Carrier Dome. The Dome will be one of the hottest places, if not the hottest place, Clemson will play this year, especially, if it's warm in Syracuse that day. There are tiny ventilation ports near the top of the concrete that supports the roof, but they don't make much of a difference in cooling the place.
Add to that the fact that SU is used to playing there (a turf field that isn't crowned), has a decent amount of speed, the offense is starting to click with Terrell Hunt under center and is usually solid defensively, and SU could make a game of this. I'm not saying SU will win, but i wouldn't be surprised to see SU hang in there.
I see you've been to a game there as well.
41-21 Syracuse

I'm not saying that Syracuse will win; all I'm saying is that they will be more competitive than most people think. Syracuse made a switch at the QB position to Terrell Hunt towards the end of the Northwestern game. Terrell has played very well since being inserted into the lineup. Follow the sport, junior.

I don't think it will be competitive enough for espn to consider this a quality game. Either they are really afraid of Clemson clemsoning, or they are trying to drive the Heisman machine for Taj.
