Analysis | Tennessee didn’t win a national title, or a conference title, or even a division title as Saturday afternoon turned into evening. It might have done something even better: It slayed the dragon, Patrick Stevens writes.
Notre Dame didn’t score in the first half. It fumbled as it neared the red zone on its next-to-last possession. And while the Cardinal didn’t exactly control the line of scrimmage the way it did during the best times of the David Shaw era, it got into the end zone the first time it had the ball and added a field goal in each of the last three quarters to come out of South Bend with a victory.
Credit Utah and quarterback Cameron Rising for creating many of the Trojans’ problems. But USC’s defense, while better than last year’s mess, is far from elite. It will be the first time the Orange has left the Northeast this season; between five home games and a trip to Connecticut, the schedule was in its favor. Yet Syracuse still had to capitalize, and good luck finding any Orange team of the last two decades that could have done so as effectively.
