Stanford Form
Stanford head out on the road for the first time this season looking to build on their first win or 2024.
The Cardinal kicked things off against TCU and produced a creditable performance, only to suffer a 34-27 defeat.
They bounced back quickly from that defeat, albeit against weaker opposition as they blew out Cal Poly, 41-7.
Stanford’s victory means that, just like last year, they hold a 1-1 record heading into their third game of the campaign.
The Cardinal won just two games the rest of the way, suffering a string of defeats to ranked teams as they finished 3-9.
Syracuse Form
Syracuse enter this matchup on the back of an upset victory that has left them with a 2-0 record.
The Orange opened up with an expected 38-22 victory at home to Ohio, but they were not expected to follow that up against ranked opposition a week later.
They did though, fending off a fourth-quarter fightback from Georgia Tech to upset the #23 ranked Yellow Jackets, 31-28, at home.
Syracuse will now look to replicate their start to the 2023 campaign, when they opened up with a four-game win streak.
The Orange cooled off once the conference schedule began though, finishing 6-5, and they concluded the campaign with a 45-0 shutout loss to South Florida.
