Everyone wins!

Well, except BC and they fought hard at the end!


Just a huge day and a sign for things to come!

We'll be favored with Pitt and FSU, and perhaps Miami. Saw a funny tweet that said "That's what McNeese State gets for letting the Huskers hang around." If BC could pull off an upset the conference will be looking VERY good.

So Notre Dame/Cuse is a conference game?

Huskers don't look so hot at the moment.

Neither do we but we look a little better... hopefully...

But BC/USC and Iowa/Pitt are?

If Cuse is 3-0 the Notre Dame game has a good shot at ABC Primetime.

Based on what I've seen so far, Syracuse has 0.001% chance of beating Notre Dame

BC has about a 2% chance of beating USC.
Pitt really SHOULD beat Iowa.

I still don't know what to say about Syracuse's performance against Nova. After and during the game, I was thinking its going to be a long season. I couldn't figure out how a veteran team that returned 15 players off of a bowl win against a pretty decent Big 10 team, struggled so mightily against Nova. But Nova is no joke and the team may have took them a little too lightly until it was too late to redeem themselves.

Nova just smashed Fordham, 50-7 and Fordham just won 12 games last season and lost to Towson the FCS champion in the 2nd round of the FCS playoffs and returned a lot of players. Syracuse was also without two starting Oline players and the starting QB in the second qtr. Sure SU should have scraped Nova with no problem like some other power5 teams. But there are fcs teams, and then there are fcs teams that can beat second level power5 teams.
The Central Michigan game should be tougher. They just scraped Purdue, at Perdue, and Syracuse has to play at Central Michigan. But this should be a win.

I agree cuseroc...felt better after seeing the Fordham score. This game (@CMU) will determine if we suck or are at least mediocre. Early money is moving to CMU...Cuse right now is about a 7 pt favorite on the road. I wouldn't bet the line...until knowing if our 2 OL are back.
