Syracuse vs. Ohio: Crystal Ball Predictions
Adam (0-0): Syracuse 38, Ohio 10 – (9-2) Last Year. This prediction was way harder from me than it probably should have been. On one hand, I’m pessimistic about a first-year head coach who has never even been a solo coordinator before. On the other, I can’t see any world in which Syracuse doesn’t dominate Ohio. The thing that usually leads to upsets is teams doing the little things wrong. Fran Brown has emphasized the small things over and over again throughout the entire offseason. I trust Brown and the Orange to get the job done and blow the doors off of the Bobcats. If they don’t then my pessimism might crawl further back into my brain heading into Georgia Tech.
