It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means… Time for the blog that brings you the internet’s most ridiculous college football preview series – it’s #FakeNunes time. Can we continue to find ways to turn #jokesandgarbage into a Syracuse Orange Preview? Decide for yourself…
Now to this week’s opponent

The Fake Nunes Statistical Index (#FNSI) 2024
We continue to innovate our analytics model. Here’s what the lab has come up with for this season.
Rivalry Trophy
The FNSI staff will not give up their quest to bring more tradition back to today’s college game. Let’s see what they come up with for this game
The Silver Crutch by Tim Neal
The former director of sports medicine at Syracuse is an Ohio University graduate, so the winner of this game should get a trophy in the shape of a crutch… which hopefully neither player needs.
Jersey Boys
Fran Brown wants to take back the Garden State, so let’s see how the Orange fare against their respective opponents.
Ohio has one player from New Jersey on its roster, which is nowhere near Syracuse’s 25.
Advantage: Syracuse
Remarkable Alum
We’re bringing this back because we love to spread some knowledge every now and then to help our loyal readers possibly win a trivia night. After all, we’re the Syracuse blog that loves you too, and we take that seriously.
Peter King vs Jayson Stark
At the beginning of the year, we pit the NFL writer against the MLB writer. Only one had that unforgettable tweet that will surely decide this duel.
Advantage: Ohio
Sponsor of the radio show “Head Coach”
Labatt Blue vs AmeriCU
This is a zero-sum game.
Advantage: Ohio
The official #FakeNunes game prediction
Syracuse fans are excited about the Fran Brown era, but are quickly confused when the team takes the court and sees NBA Youngboy. Some people wonder if this is the same Youngboy who played for Baylor or the one who was at Gonzaga… anyway, kickoff follows shortly thereafter.
Kyle McCord catches three touchdown passes and Orange fans reenact the boyfriend meme, shifting their attention from Eric Dungey to McCord. Speaking of which, does anyone know the best way to turn a 2 into a 6?
Final score: Syracuse 37, Ohio 17
