Syracuse Orange at Notre Dame Football: 3 bold predictions

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah forces two turnovers

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have the best linebacker in college football in Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, a player who should be the first at his position group off the board during the 2021 NFL Draft. He is a guy who plays all over the field, is an excellent tackler, and solid in coverage, so you can be sure he will make his mark against Syracuse.

Playing in his last game inside Notre Dame Stadium, I like Owusu-Koramoah to impact the game in a big way, forcing two turnovers against the Orange offense. He has an interception this season and two forced fumbles, and against Syracuse, he should be able to get the ball back for his offense on a few occasions.

Syracuse is a mess on the offensive side of the ball, and JOK is the best defensive player they will have faced all season long. Whether it is a strip-sack, interception, or just him laying out some running back, Owusu-Koramoah is going to find a way to get his hands on the ball in this one.
