Stanford is now 2-1 to start the season and 1-0 in ACC play. The conference looks wide open this year, with some of the teams at the top disappointing thus far. Taylor's team could be poised to make some noise in his second season at the helm.

Preview the Stanford Cardinal vs. Syracuse Orange college football matchup, with score predictions, stats, and game information.

The Orange switched from a three-man to a four-man front this year and rank 120th nationally in EPA per Rush allowed. Stanford’s offense is far from elite, but dual-threat quarterback Ashton Daniels should expose Syracuse’s leaky rush defense – he’s amassed more than 150 rushing yards on 20 carries through two games.
