It’s time for the moment of truth. After one of the craziest hype weeks in recent Syracuse football memory, now a game has to be played vs the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. This game won’t be played in South Bend, thanks to an Irish scheduling job, so the game will be played at Yankee Stadium.
This is a big time atmosphere with two top-12 teams squaring off with a lot on the line. For the Irish, if they win out (vs Syracuse and vs USC) they’re in the College Football Playoff for the first time in history.
While for the Orange there’s less than a one percent chance of this team making the College Football Playoff, but that doesn’t mean they have nothing to play for.
