Analyzing past performances, Syracuse has had a mixed season. In their last three games, they've experienced both highs and lows. Against Pittsburgh Panthers, they struggled offensively with only 145 total yards and lost 19-9. Their defense managed two interceptions but couldn't stop the Panthers' advance.


The following week saw an improvement when they played at home against Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Despite losing 41-24, there were positive takeaways; they scored three touchdowns and achieved a red zone efficiency of 100 percent. However, turnovers remained an issue with two interceptions thrown.


Their most recent away game against Clemson Tigers showed resilience despite another loss (27-21). The defense stepped up with two sacks and two forced fumbles leading to touchdowns—one from an interception return and another from a fumble recovery—showing that their defensive plays can be game-changers.


Syracuse's offense needs to find consistency; while their passing completion rate was high against Clemson (69 percent), it dropped significantly in other games (around 35 percent). Rushing has been more reliable but still requires improvement for better control of possession time which was notably higher during their performance against Clemson (26 minutes).


In conclusion, if Syracuse can leverage its defensive strengths while finding offensive consistency—especially within the supportive confines of JMA Wireless Dome—they have a chance to turn things around after recent setbacks.


Fans can catch all the action on November 13th at JMA Wireless Dome or tune into ACC Network for live coverage of what promises to be an exciting football matchup between these competitive teams.
