The Syracuse Orange hope to get out to a 2-0 start this Saturday afternoon when the Western Michigan Broncos come to the JMA Dome. Here’s what we’re looking forward to in this one.
Kevin: Force the Broncos to abandon the run
Last week, WMU ran the ball 67 times for 339 yards with Jalen Buckley accounting for 194 of those yards. If Syracuse can stop the run on early downs, they can force the Broncos to the air. That gives the Orange defense an edge as they can unleash the pass rush and look to force WMU into mistakes.
