Notre Dame produces a very good defense and has not allowed a rushing TD yet this year, and they can stop the pass and the run very good. And NDs defense should be more than enough to stop the Orange on offense. Syracuse obviously lacks a passing game, with Terrel Hunt only hitting less than 59% of his passes this season and he is very inconsistant and with this game being played at Metlife stadium in NJ I think he'll struggle outdoors. The Irish coming off a bye week and 2 weeks to prepare for this one. Everett Golson has passed for 780 yards with 7 TD's and 0 INT's for Notre Dame. Receiver Williams Fuller has 19 receptions for 225 yards and 3 TD's for the Irish The Irish is 3rd ranked only allowing 10.3 points per game and shut out Michigan 31-0. The defense leads the nation with a +8 turnover margin. Look for the defense to key on stopping Hunt and NOTRE DAME to pull away big in the 2nd half here
