PREVIEW:
Nationally ranked Syracuse closes out its home schedule with a Friday night tilt against lowly Louisville. The Cardinals blasted the Orange in the teams’ last two meetings, winning by a combined score of 118-38 as they racked up more than 400 rushing yards in each of the victories. Of course, there’s a slightly different level of talent on Louisville’s roster, as quarterback Lamar Jackson is now in Baltimore with the Ravens. The Cardinals have used three different signal-callers this season, and none has come close to Jackson’s performance. Read More
