GameThread: Syracuse Orange (2-2, 0-1) vs. Holy Cross Crusaders (1-2, 0-0)

The Syracuse Orange (2-2, 0-1) are back at the Dome for the third straight Saturday, and this time will face their easiest opponent to date, the FCS-level Holy Cross Crusaders (1-2, 0-0). While far from perfect, SU’s offense looked a whole lot better in week four against WMU. Many would expect a similar-or-better performance against Holy Cross today.

Syracuse and the Crusaders kick off from the Carrier Dome at noon ET, or on ACC Network/WatchESPN for those of us tuning in from home. Before things get going, though, here’s some pre-game reading for you to catch up on.
