Our Deacs take a three game winning streak to upstate New York to face the 1-5 Orange.
Cuse is coming off their best game of the season as they hung with Clemson into the 3rd quarter (the Orange cut it to 27-21 in the 3Q; the Cuse did benefit from a blocked punt, and a pick six on a tipped pass). Before the attrition, the season was expected to be a struggle for Cuse, but over the first six games they have lost: their starting QB (Tommy DeVito), their best player (A-A safety Andre Sisco), their other starting safety Eric Coley, their leading rusher Sean Tucker, OL Dakota Davis, among others. Deacs are currently 11 point road favorites (WF is not often a double digit road favorite in a conference game), and find themselves in a revenge spot, having lost at the Carrier Dome to close the 2019 regular season.
Deacs need to win this one, as they will likely be dogs in 4 of the last 5, which include ranked UNC, Miami and ND. Then again, WF was a dog in each of its last two wins, including the win over the ranked Hokies...
