Syracuse has a good offense. A really good offense. The Orange continued their hot start to the season as they put up 62 against Wagner. Yes it’s a lower level opponent but this performance shows that the Week 1 win over Western Michigan wasn’t a fluke. If they can keep this momentum and beat Florida State, we could be looking at an ACC title contender.

Savannah State didn’t have the athletes to make this game even remotely close. The Hurricanes won 77-0 in what was a traditional “pay to play” game. Toledo has a lot of offensive firepower so I’m sure the Week 3 contest will be a shootout.

Is Duke for real? I keep trying to tell myself that they will come back to earth and be a middle of the road ACC team, but they went into Northwestern and beat a pretty good Big Ten team. Daniel Jones had three touchdown passes and the Blue Devils cruised to an easy win. They take on Baylor next week which could be a trap game.
