This is going to be a game where the weather is a factor. The Panthers rely heavily on Picketts to carry out their offensive and any adverse conditions could get in their way. However, Syracuse is really in ruins this year. Pickett needs a big game for his Heisman hopes; he will make sure that the Panthers win here convincingly.
