In just about an hour Purdue will take on the Orange of Syracuse in Ross-Ade Stadium. A night game at Ross-Ade just feels different. Just ask Ohio State. Or Iowa. Or Michigan State. Or Ohio State again. With this game kicking off at 7:30 the fans will have had plenty of time to build up their liquid courage and will be ready to bring a raucous environment to the Orange.
Syracuse has had one of the easiest schedules in the country so far by going against an FCS team and a bottom tier MAC team. Anything you read about them stats and performance wise means nothing.
