Louisville & Syracuse will square off Saturday for Senior Day at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. The Orange play at a rapid pace and may or may not be with the services of their #1 Quarterback Eric Dungey. Last year the Cards beat Syracuse 62-28 in the Carrier Dome…. the weather for Saturday is currently supposed to be 61/32 with Rain and 22 MPH wind so we will have to see if the weather slows down either team.
