GameThread: #10 Syracuse Orange (2-1) vs. #9 Virginia Cavaliers (4-1)

The Syracuse Orange and Virginia Cavaliers take to the Carrier Dome turf on Sunday at noon. Both squads are coming off of one goal losses, UVA to Penn and SU to Army. The Cavaliers are a FAST team, coached by Lars Tiffany who utilizes the two-way game on midfield and traditionally pushes the pace.

Expect a lot of possessions and a lot of goals for this one.

The game can be watched on ESPN3 and heard on TK99/105 and of course you can also follow me @Orangelax.
