Jesse Johnson-US PRESSWIRE
Syracuse is proving itself as a true ACC team by threatening to ruin its conference's best representative.

Ryan Nassib has been unstoppable (10 of 17 for 185), Louisville's offense has been good for only 20 non-scramble rushing yards, four Cuse players have plays of 22 or more yards, the Cards have a turnover and Prince-Tyson Gulley broke off this 55-yarder right before the bell:

But there might be a simpler explanation, based on what we've previously learned about Charlie Strong's team:
F---ing Halo 4.
