Syracuse is wrecked by injuries, including to their top defensive player in Andre Cisco (who just declared for the NFL draft), and QB Tommy DeVito. Now Liberty, an independent FBS team that might as well be Wagner, heads into the Dome at 4-0. Can Syracuse rightfully beat a team they should, despite missing most of their starting players?
Liberty has done their job against lesser teams like FIU, ULM, Northern Alabama, and Western Kentucky. But now they play a real team. Syracuse was able to beat Liberty in their home stadium with their coach in a hospital bed in the press box, but now they come into the newly renovated Dome in front of tens of people trying to get an ACC win they will tout for years despite this season being batshit crazy.
