By us a lot more risk for the Canes at the Dome than most of the pundit class seems to think. Had the ACC replay officials played it straight earlier in the season, Miami would have two extra losses (vs. Virginia Tech and Cal) and could very well be entering this clash with the same record as the 'Cuse. Cam Ward's Heisman campaign slowed down in November, and Miami's recent spread record deceives, running up scores at home over Duke and Wake Forest in games played much closer than the final tally. Aside from his disastrous first half at Pitt on October 24 when throwing five picks, Orange and ex-Ohio State QB Kyle McCord has been more than serviceable this season, and has a noteworthy 26 TD passes, with offensive balance provided by RB LeQuint Allen (819 YR). We suspect every 'Cuse effort save the outlier loss at Pitt gets the Orange within this number. Play Syracuse
