Scott Shafer has figured out a way to contain Smith in their last two match ups (nine sacks, 5 interceptions). While I don't think he'll completely shut down Smith this time, he has the pedigree to at least slow him down to a manageable level and Shafer has an offense that is playing with more confidence than at anytime in his Syracuse tenure to back his defense.
