Is everyone so scared of Syracuse?!!

They rushed for 125 against our ex QB’s school which is not a feat by any means.
We are at home and Fresno State was no slouch, we play our game, we will beat them too! Yes they beat GT who beat a bad Florida State team, not such a big deal now.

Yes McCord can throw but do you really think the defense we have will let him throw for 350 or 400 yards, I don’t think so?

We will be fine!

McCord has people worried. Idk, he has 1 favorite WR and not much of a run game to support him. Stanford made them very 1 dimensional. Our defense is very good when you make teams 1 dimensional.

I wouldnt be surprised if he puts up 400 yds. However, I feel good about us shutting down their running game, and hopefully coming up with a couple of turnovers too. Should be an entertaining game.

I highly doubt it!

If our defense, who is playing lights out allows 400 yards passing, we aren’t as good as we thought. I don’t believe that!

The D is much different than past years and if they get the pass rush ramped up more by blitzing and stunting, we could and should see a record number of sacks!

We gave up 300 yards passing to Fresno. But it didn't feel like it because they weren't explosive plays and turnovers and sacks killed a few of their early drives.

The yardage totals don't matter. It's what you do with those yards.

McCord is a good QB. Syracuse can sling it. They aren't particularly good on the ground because they don't have to be and it's not what they are built to do.

I think UNLV is going to win the game but they'll give up some yards through the air. But as long as they aran't giving up huge scoring plays through the air and buckledown in red zone they will be fine.

Syracuse OL looks a little shaky.

I know how much you love stats. UNLV is currently 88th in passing defense yards allowed.

Part of that is playing with bigger leads, softer coverage.

I think if Hajj makes good reads, we can run for 250 vs Cuse.
 
it would also help to get a kick off return and a punt block scoop and score. If we do that again, I’m guaranteeing a win
