The Dag Bag – Does SU have any shot against USC? | The Juice Online
Overall, I’m interested to see how Syracuse will handle a cross-country game against a big-name, non-conference opponent. The two teams haven’t played each other in 21 years when Mikhail Marinovich’s brother, Todd, was the quarterback for the Trojans.
Doug Marrone's Syracuse Orange Can and Will Show a Program Revival Versus USC | Bleacher Report
Syracuse has not started off a season 3-0 since 1993 and has not started a season with three straight wins since 1991. Syracuse is not expected to win, as shown by a 16.5 point spread. However, if the Orange can pull the upset, Marrone and his team will have the Syracuse Orange back on the national radar earn the respect this program has lacked for so many years.

"[Rob Long] said, ‘Everything’s not going to be so easy, so if you have a bad day just come back the next day and get the right mindset,’" Raupers said. "To hear a little encouragement from him after the game was great. I’m just trying to get the job done."

"Paul took a chance on me," admitted Orgeron on Wednesday morning as he sat on a bench outside Heritage Hall, the most famous of the many famous buildings on the USC property that is more oasis than campus. "People told him, ‘You’re taking a shot with that guy. He’s a little wild off the field. You better watch out.’ But Paul took me on and he gave me parameters. And it’s the best thing that has ever happened to me in my career.

Both teams certainly have a history of great rushers. Southern Cal has had five running backs win the Heisman Trophy (although one, Reggie Bush, later forfeited his award). Syracuse has several runners enshrined in the college or pro football halls of fame.

FB | Scouting Southern California with SU defensive coordinator Scott Shafer - Sports - The Daily Orange
I think all the (defensive ends) have done a nice job. Coach Daoust has got those kids ready to go. Yeah, we're going to miss Chandler, he's a good football player. But it's a great opportunity for those kids to play in a beautiful venue and play against some of the best players in the country, and it will be a lot of fun.
College Football Preview: USC vs. Syracuse
Given everything we’ve seen over the last two weeks, assuming that Syracuse will simply roll over for Barkley and Co. would be crazy. Both of these squads have effective -- albeit sporadic -- offenses that can score in a hurry, so defense may end up playing a big role in this one.
