![]() However, I don’t think it matters who ultimately gets the start under center in this particular matchup. There are questions surrounding the Texas A&M quarterback situation due to injuries. I think they add another cover to that resume and get the outright road victory against a fairly overrated Syracuse squad. Over that span, they’re 35-20 against the spread (63.6%) against ranked foes, including 12-3 since 2018 and 2-0 this season. Lastly, since 2005, no team has turned a larger profit against ranked opponents than the Irish. I’d also imagine the Irish will eventually get a few takeaways they currently have the fewest in the country. On the other side of the ball, the Orange should have success on the ground, but their struggles in pass protection could result in costly negative plays on passing downs against a Notre Dame defense that ranks 14th in Sack Rate.Īdditionally, Notre Dame holds a major advantage in the penalty department. Its offensive line, which ranks in the top 25 nationally in almost every run-blocking metric, should control the line of scrimmage against the Syracuse 3-3-5 defense that ranks outside the top 115 in both Rush Success Rate and EPA per Rush.
