Well folks, after the celebrating and good-feelings induced by its 30-point shellacking of the NC State Wolfpack on Wednesday night, it’s time to look ahead to the next game for the 12-3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish — a Saturday tilt at the Carrier Dome against the 12-3 Syracuse Orange.
Syracuse is 1-1 in conference play, having defeated Virginia Tech in its conference opener before losing at Wake Forest on Wednesday night.
The Fighting Irish, meanwhile, are 2-0 in the ACC so far with home victories over Georgia Tech and NC State, but have also lost their two best players in BONZIE COLSON (out 8 weeks with a foot fracture) and Matt Farrell (out indefinitely with an injured ankle).
