Despite a relatively easy win on Saturday, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have no time to dwell on that victory. That’s because they face a stiff challenge on the road Saturday against the Syracuse Orangemen, who they’ve defeated in each of their last four meetings. However, the Irish now find themselves in the role of underdog against this Top 25 opponent.
The Orangemen enter this contest with a 6-1 record and are coming off their first loss of the 2022 campaign. That 27-21 defeat came at Clemson and was the result of a fourth-quarter slide in which the Syracuse defense gave up 17 unanswered points.
