Immediately after writing my last article, I did my work on Syracuse vs. Akron. Syracuse may have some questions on offense, but, as I wrote in the last posting, they have the much better athletes, and a 1000 yard-rusher returning for the Orange. More than enough to score on a weak Zip defense.
On defense, Syracuse has almost 10 starters back, including a 1st Big East DT, and two all-league linebackers who combined for 16 SACKS!!!!! That is unheard of, and I will write right now, that this defense will make Syracuse a strong contender in the Big East! Akron simply cannot respond offensively to the Orange crush "D." Their QB is very sub-par, their running game stinks, and they lose a 2-yr. starter at the all-important center position.
On top of all this, Akron introduces a new coaching staff( coach Ianella has no head-coaching experience), with new schemes on both offense and defense.
MAJOR PLAY ON SYRACUSE.
