Notre Dame is 6-4 and will be playing its final home game of the season, honoring 15 scholarship seniors. The Orange is 2-8 and ranks 114th nationally in total offense at 271.4 yards per game.

Jimmy Clausen hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass in two games, but has 18 for the season and has done a better job of getting the ball downfield this season. He won’t have injured freshman standout WR Michael Floyd this week, though. Floyd suffered a sprained knee last week against Navy and will miss the final two games of the regular season.

With Greg Robinson’s coaching career at Syracuse down to two games, it will be interesting to see how the effort and energy of the Orange translates to the field. Bet on college football in the Bodog Sportsbook now.
