Duke (2-2) vs Syracuse (3-1) (12PM ET, ACC Network)

[TrueOrange]

Syracuse-watch.

After trading FGs, Duke has a 49-yard run to make it 10-3 Blue Devils with 3 minutes left in the first.

Our only decent win is currently looking weak at home.

Losing your starting Qb can do that to a team.

Yes, forgot about that. This guys looks awful.

To be fair, their QB also wouldn’t be responsible for preventing multiple long TDs (49 yard and 34 yard).

The low amount of points they scored with what’s left of their offense aside, this is a pretty bad showing so far by their defense (but hey it makes Clemson look bad too, so everyone point and laugh at Clemson).

24-3 Duke with 2 minutes left in the first half.

Well, let's go get a solid win today against Miss State. It won't matter if Tennessee can continue winning. I think Tennessee needs to go 10-2 to make CFB Playoffs.

Well Duke got blown out at home by Illinois, but beat NC State by 2 scores, who beat UVA, who beat FSU, who beat Bama.

Not the same team without SA

Yet at the end of the season it’s still the same teams at the very top of college football. There is more parity amongst the lower ranks only.

Clemson won’t be there

Clemson won’t be there

True and that makes me happy

Doesn’t fit the confidence from the Vols by fiddy crowd.

Syracuse is getting steamrolled by Duke.

Why? What does this game have anything to do with our win over them?

They lost their starting QB

Why? What does this game have anything to do with our win over them?

Since it was our only decent win, it underscores the fact that they are not a good team. So now our only claim to being ranked is an OT loss to Georgia at home. So many have been confident all week that we will “boat race” lowly MS state. I think that’s unlikely.

I haven't watched this game today, but some of Syracuse's best defense was manufacturing long drives with their offense and keeping their defense off the field. I imagine without Angeli their whole team is off rythm in how they operate.

 

[TrueOrange]

31-3 Duke at the end of the 3rd.

 

[jcvols24]

I hope some of these guys don't notice that Arizona State (whom Miss St. recently beat) just beat a ranked TCU team.

This Duke-Syracuse game needs a name. Maliq Brown Bowl?
