Wake Forest vs Syracuse Game Preview


Why Wake Forest Will Win

The Demon Deacon offense continues to do just about everything right.

It’s been balanced for most of the year, but when the Louisville game became a fight, the passing attack took things up a few notches and the team came up with a season-high 501 yards to get to 5-0.

The pass rush should roll through an improved-but-still-struggling Syracuse offensive front, that’s forcing a slew of takeaways, and all the puzzle pieces continue to be fitting together.

However …

Why Syracuse Will Win

Louisville was able to run on the Wake Forest defense and the Orange will try giving it a shot.

The move of former Mississippi State Bulldog Garrett Shrader to quarterback added more of a rushing element to the mix – he tore off 137 yards and three scores against Florida State and has seven rushing scores in the last three games – to go along with Sean Tucker and his 100-yard grinding rushing ability.

The pass rush wasn’t all that great against Florida State, but it’s been strong at times and should be able to get to QB Sam Hartman enough to be a bother.

All of a sudden, after getting ripped to shreds last year, Syracuse has the No. 1 defense in the ACC, and …

Why Wake Forest Will Win

And there’s the Syracuse we all know and love.

The Orange played out of its gourd in a 49-6 win over Duke, and then Syracuse went Syracuse and didn’t stop a thing in a 56-34 loss to Louisville.

Wake Forest might be sliding a bit after losing star receiver Sage Surratt, but it has a shot at nine wins and one of the ACC’s better bowl games.

And the offense is still good.

The attack will keep the production going on third downs against an Orange defense that’s getting picked clean, but the bigger issue throughout the season for SU has been an offensive line that can’t handle anyone’s pass rush.

The Demon Deacons have one of their best days of the year getting into the backfield, generating five sacks against Duke.

Why Syracuse Will Win

At home in the season finale, here’s where the passing game needs to air it out.

The passing game worked against Louisville with Tommy DeVito having a solid day, and Clayton Welch filling in during a stretch and throwing for close to 100 yards.

It’s possible to push the ball deep on the Demon Deacon secondary that allowed nine yards per throw or more in four of the last seven games. Inside, this is the enough-is-enough game – it’s Syracuse’s bowl.

The team needs a few breaks, though.

Wake Forest isn’t bad when it comes to turnovers, but Syracuse is a +6 over the last six games with just two giveaways. This should be a shootout, and just one turnover might be the difference.

What’s Going To Happen

Syracuse will give it the true college try, and it’ll play at another level in the final game of the season. It’ll get enough offensive production to be interesting, but the Demon Deacons will be steadier for a full four quarters. Enjoy the passing games, enjoy the show … it’ll be fun.
