GameThread: #3 Syracuse Orange (6-1) vs. #1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (5-1)

The Syracuse Orange visit the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday at noon. SU has not beaten UND since 2014 and the Orange are looking for a little redemption after being embarrassed by the Irish last season during the Syracuse Centennial Celebration.

The strength of Notre Dame is at defense, although Sergio Perkovic and Ryder Garnsey lead a powerful offense. Check out my game preview here.
