Syracuse, not too surprisingly, lost to #1 Clemson last week. While a sold out Carrier Dome would have loved the upset, it was not meant to be. But that means Syracuse can't have a hangover and they need to get another win.
Western Michigan and Syracuse opened the season last year in Michigan with a shootout. This year, Syracuse is obviously without Eric Dungey, but Tommy Touchdown is equally as capable of making big passes. And the good news is, Western Michigan doesn't have as good of a running back or secondary as Clemson. The bottom line is, of course, this game may be close, but Syracuse should pull away in the 2nd half.
