Syracuse

DJ: Syracuse has had success their program has felt in the years recently. This will be Louisville’s senior night and the energy in the crowd will be electric. However, Louisville doesn’t have the horses to compete with the up and coming with Syracuse.

Louisville 27, Syracuse 38 (3-8)

Will: The Syracuse Orange won their first game against the Cards since 2012 last season, winning in Louisville in dominant fashion, 54-23. This is the game where I see this team showing why they’re different than the 2018 version of themselves. It’s not gonna be easy, Syracuse won 10 games last season for the first time since 2001. Star QB Eric Dungey has finally graduated so they’ll have questions at the most important position on the field. I think this is the one where the Cards surprise us all.

Louisville 35, Syracuse 32 (4-7)

Alan: Louisville comes to play in this one and shows a lot of fight in between the hashes, but Syracuse begins hitting their stride, ruining the Cardinals’ chances at a bowl game appearance.

Louisville 20, Syracuse 35 (4-7)

Presley: Syracuse is building something pretty special under Dino Babers, and though it’s senior day and Louisville’s final home game, the Cards don’t match up well with the Orange. Syracuse will be as lethal as ever on offense, and their defensive line will be among the best in the ACC. The Cards have the talent to be in these type of games this year, but at this juncture, I just don’t see them putting the pieces together until 2020.

Louisville 17, Syracuse 28

Ethan: Dino Babers has done a great job at Syracuse, he has them ranked in most polls coming into the season, and they’ve even earned a couple of first place votes in the Atlantic. Eric Dungey is gone, but Syracuse still brings a lot back. Expect Louisville to lost a hard-fought game in this one.

Louisville 21, Syracuse 28 (5-6)
