From the Syracuse paper: http://www.syracuse.com/sports/poststandard/index.ssf?/base/sports-0/1062837508192380.xml
Don't like what I'm reading there. Hopefully the players will come out and play for what's potentially the last game for their head coach, but I don't know the situation there. Gotta hope for a miracle. For some reason Syracuse beating Notre Dame feels almost as unlikely as Oregon State beating USC.
The Carrier Dome can get crazy. If Syracuse gets off on the right foot, it will be anybody's game. Don't forget, even though Notre Dame isn't very good, beating them is always a big deal.
