Notre Dame in a Nutshell

Yeah I know its not Otto, but Lou Holtz hugging this Orange is gold

Alright Cuse, it's pretty obvious that the entirety of the fan base is still a little hungover from a historical Duke game. The worst possible thing for this campus would be losing the #1 ranking not even after 24 hours after being on top. The last time Syracuse was ranked the best in the nation...they lost to Notre Dame that same week. The Orange are talented enough to make up for a slow and sluggish start, and the Carrier Dome atmosphere could help the orange prevail over a mediocre Irish. I'm literally writing this on my way over to the Dome so here is a quick preview of what The Orange are up against tonight:

Jerian Grant...(Moo Moo's older brother) is no longer a threat. He gone. Everett Golson status in other words.

Garrick Sherman has a really ugly beard, but the kid knows how to contribute to a basketball team. He's averaging nearly 15 points and 9 rebounds. Cuse's backcourt should be able to handle him tonight but they can't let him be the hero.

Eric Atkins and Pat Connoughton are their next leading scorers putting up nearly 14 points per game each respectively, however they are each shooting 38% from behind the arc. The Orange must keep an eye on these two shooters in order to keep the Irish in check.

 Demetrius Jackson is their 6-1 freshman guard playing about 25 minutes a game. He's nothing too special yet, but he can contribute to multiple stat lines across the board (pts,rebs, and assts)

The last "real" threat they have is a 6'10 sophomore, Zach Auguste, who barely averages 6 points and 4 rebounds a game...he shoots 46%...from the free throw line. 

Prediction: Orange win by 17 and solidify themselves as THE BEST TEAM IN THE NATION
