A point not covered in the podcast but I’m going to discuss it in this thread before going over to the game thread and repeating myself.
Syracuse plays a unique 3-3-5 defense that concerns me. They blitz from various places and attempt to confuse the offense. Our OL has struggled in recent years and this defense will be aligned in ways they’ve never seen. I know we like to establish tempo but this game might be a good one to slow down, play methodical, limit mistakes.
