Only one game for UNLV has been decided by one score—their Week 3 win over Kansas, where they edged out the Jayhawks 23-20. In every other matchup, they’ve blown out their opponents, particularly at home, where they have an average margin of victory of 51.5 points and have allowed just 14 points in both home games.

One clear thing is that Syracuse will not back down to anyone. The Orange have the third-highest pass-play rate at 63.81% to compensate for its inability to run the ball. They rank 89th with a rush success rate of 39.6%, which puts the onus squarely on McCord to get the offense going.
