Game Day Thread: Boston College vs. Syracuse (2:00pm, RSN)
It is gameday as Boston College and Syracuse face off for the 53rd time in the rivalry, like last year this game is in the Carrier Dome. Syracuse (1-6) has been hampered by injuries and opt outs, and will most noticeably be without their starting quarterback Tommy DeVito, and two NFL caliber defensive backs Andre Cisco and Trill Williams. Boston College (4-3) could be looking at a trap game as the Orange game is sandwiched between matchups between Clemson and Notre Dame.
This is where you will get all the latest updates and analysis of the game. Throughout the game I will update this article to include any notes, injury updates and analysis of the game as it happens. I will also be in the comment section to talk about the game.
