10/26/2022 12:01:00 PM | Football
No. 16 Syracuse hosts Notre Dame in front of what will be a sold out crowd at the JMA Wireless Dome. Here's five things to know about the matchup:
1. Wear Orange
Saturday's game will be an Orange Out. Fans are encouraged to dress in as much orange-colored apparel as possible.

2. Sold Out
General public tickets are sold out for Saturday's game. A limited number of student tickets remain and can be purchased by students here: student tickets.
Fans still seeking to get into Saturday's game can purchase verified resale tickets through Ticketmaster.
3. A Rare Visit
While 'Cuse and Notre Dame have played each other every-other year since 2014, this will be the Fighting Irish's first trip to the 315 since 2003 and just the third trip to Syracuse in the now 11 meetings between the programs.
The two teams have played at Metlife Stadium (twice), Yankee Stadium and Notre Dame Stadium (twice) since their last trip to 'Cuse.
4. Defend the Dome
Syracuse puts a five-game home winning streak to the test on Saturday. While it just begun this season, it already ranks in the top-18 nationally and is the second-longest active streak in the ACC behind Clemson (38) and NC State (14).
A win on Saturday would equal the most home wins in a season since the Dome opened in 1980, tying 2018 (6-0), 2001 (6-0), 1988 (6-0) and 1987 (6-0).
5. A Historic Season Brewing on Defense
Syracuse ranks sixth in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 15.1 points per game. The Orange are keeping their opponents out of the end zone at a pace that hasn't been achieved in the past 25 years.
The last time Syracuse's opponents averaged less than 20 points per game was in 2010 (19.3). If the season ended today, the 15.1 points per game would be the lowest for the Orange under the direction of head coach Dino Babers and their lowest total since 1997 (15.9).
