Syracuse Orange at Notre Dame Football: 3 bold predictions
By Brad Weiss
The Notre Dame football team closes out their regular season against Syracuse, and here are three bold predictions for the ACC matchup.
In a game that should be a blowout, the Notre Dame football team will play host to the Syracuse Orange in the final home game for their seniors. The Orange come into the game with only one win on the season and have issues all over their roster, so Notre Dame will likely close out their regular season with a 10-0 record.
With that said, let us take a look at three bold predictions for the ACC matchup on Saturday.
Chris Tyree goes over 100 yards rushing
In all likelihood, the Irish are going to have no problems scoring against this Orange defense, which is one of the worst units in all of college football. With an ACC title game on the horizon, Notre Dame is not going to risk getting any of their star players injured, so the likes of Kyren Williams, Ian Book, and others are only going to be in there until Brian Kelly feels the game is in hand.
That means we could see a steady dose of freshman Chris Tyree in this one, and against Syracuse, he could go off for over 100 yards. He has eclipsed the 100-yard mark once this season, posting 103 yards against Florida State, while also rushing for 65 yards against South Florida, and 74 yards against Boston College.
