Friday's matchup might be decided in the trenches. Syracuse has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 224 rushing yards per game. It's a different story for Davis, though, as they've been averaging only 71.7 rushing yards. How will they fare against such a dominant running game?
Syracuse took a serious blow against Davis in their previous matchup back in October of 2024, falling 49-10. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Darts' Bessinger, who threw for 258 yards and three TDs while completing 77.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 32 yards and a pair of scores. Now that the Titans know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
