Shafer previews this weekend's matchup with the Irish
After suffering its first loss of the season on Saturday, head coach Scott Shafer and the Orange have a big opportunity to rebound this week when 'Cuse hosts No. 8 Notre Dame (3-0) at MetLife Stadium in the New York College Classic in prime time.
Cuse TV: Shafer Interview
SU sits at 2-1 on the season, after falling 34-20 to Maryland on Saturday, despite out-gaining the Terrapins by 220 yards on offense.
"I think the biggest theme on both sides, including the kicking game is finish," Shafer said. "We have to finish the play better. I felt like we were going up and down the field offensively. I felt like we couldn't be stopped unless we stopped ourselves and that's exactly what happened. It was an 18-point game for so long we never pushed until we got that momentum swing.
"It was disappointing, not discouraging because we have good things going on as well. When I look at the big picture of things we have to learn from them, go to work on them and get some extra red zone work in this week on offense and keep on keeping."
The Orange is now focusing on taking down its first top-10 opponent since beating then No. 8 Virginia Tech 50-42 in triple overtime.
"We've got a great game coming up in the Meadowlands against a great, top-10 Notre Dame," said head coach Scott Shafer. "This is why you coach the game and this is why these kids play the game. So, it'll be an exciting week of practice and I'm looking forward to that."
