Why Syracuse Will Win

So what went right for Syracuse in the win over Georgia Tech? The offensive line didn’t get everyone in the backfield killed.

The running game still wasn’t anything special, but QB Tommy DeVito got to enjoy a game without everyone jumping on his head, and he was decent – 194 yards and two touchdowns with a pick is good enough for now.

Does Duke have a pass rush? Short answer, not rally. It’s not awful, and it’ll come up with plays behind the line once in a while, but DeVito and company should get time to work. However …

Why Duke Will Win

Syracuse is really, really, really, worst in the ACC awful at coming up with third down conversions. Duke is nothing special at moving the chains, but the Orange so far have had a rough time trying to come up with steady production on long drives.

The O line might have been better against Georgia Tech, but it’s still not all that great and the Syracuse offense is still the worst in the conference. If Duke can somehow get out to a decent early lead, it might finally be able to take control of a game. But …

What’s Going To Happen

The one saving grace so far for Duke is its ability to take the ball away, coming up with eight takeaways. Syracuse has come up with ten and is third in the nation in turnover margin.

It might be shaky, but the Orange make it two in a row.

Why Syracuse Will Win

Duke’s offense has picked a bad time to take a break.

The offense that was so sharp early in the year has suffered a power outage, failing to score more than 17 points in any of the last three games after scoring 30 or more in the previous five.

The passing game doesn’t have anything happening down the field – the dinking and midrange passes aren’t going anywhere – and the ground game hasn’t been able to get over four yards per pop in any of the last five games.

The Syracuse defense needs the break.

For all of the problems on both sides of the ball, the Orange are great at taking the ball away, and they should be able to generate a few easy scoring opportunities against a Duke offense that’s way too happy to give the ball away.

The Orange have turned it over 16 times in the last five games.

Why Duke Will Win

The Syracuse offense isn’t doing enough.

On a four-game losing streak, the Orange have yet to beat a Power Five team, they’re winless in ACC play, and they’re not going on enough long and sustained drives.

That’s because the offensive line isn’t doing anything.

Syracuse is still dead last in the nation in sacks allowed, the running game is averaging just three yards per carry, and even when Tommy DeVito has a good game – he threw for 289 yards and three scores against Boston College two weeks ago – it isn’t enough.

Despite all of the recent problems, Duke has enough decent offensive parts that can move the ball however it wants against this Orange D. This is the game for the Blue Devils to try cranking up that passing game again – it should work if Quinten Harris can get hot early.

What’s Going To Happen

Duke will start to look the part again. Harris will hit over 60% of his passes, the offense will keep things moving enough to keep the Orange O off the field, and the slide will finally stop.

The Blue Devils will get the win they have to have, and then need to win one of their final two games against Wake Forest and Miami to become bowl eligible.
