2. Malik Cunningham has five total touchdowns

It’s been quite the roller-coaster season for Malik Cunningham. He began as a dark-horse Heisman candidate after a breakout sophomore campaign but has since gone through some turnover issues and the Cardinals are just 2-6 on the season.

Cunningham’s season hasn’t gone quite as planned but his numbers are still better than most people give him credit for. He’s about to surpass all of his previous career-bests.

On the season, he has 1,907 yards and 15 touchdowns with nine interceptions and a career-high 65 percent completion rate. He also has 417 rushing yards and five touchdowns.

Through eight games, Cunningham has 20 total touchdowns but he will add five more against a horrid Syracuse defense on Friday night. The Orange have had a tough time stopping anyone this season and Cunningham has been waiting for an opportunity to go off. This is it.

I’m going to say Malik passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns and rushes for another 100 and two more scores.
