It\u2019s Wednesday, so you know what that means… time for the blog that gives you the internet\u2019s most ridiculous college football preview series- it\u2019s #FakeNunes time. Can we keep finding ways to get #jokesandgarbage into a Syracuse Orange<\/a> preview? You be the judge….<\/p>\n

Now onto this week\u2019s opponent<\/p>\n

Opponent: Pittsburgh Panthers<\/p>\n

Students: 29,927 students who are living their best life with what has happened at Pitt and Penn State the last two weeks<\/p>\n

The 2025 Fake Nunes Statistical Index (#FNSI)<\/p>\n

We continue to look to innovate our analytics model so we here\u2019s what the lab cooked up for this season.<\/p>\n

The FNSI staff won\u2019t give up on their quest to bring back more tradition into today\u2019s college game. Let\u2019s see what they\u2019ve got for this one<\/p>\n

Maybe you don\u2019t enjoy the combination, but the winning team gets to dine on Heid\u2019s hot dogs with Heinz ketchup and\/or mustard<\/p>\n

Fran Brown wants to reclaim the Garden State so let\u2019s see how the Orange stack up against each opponent.<\/p>\n

The Orange have 17 players from Jersey on this year\u2019s squad while Pittsburgh comes in with 7 led by East Orange native Kyle Louis<\/p>\n

Bringing back this one as we love to drop, some knowledge every now and then to help our loyal readers possibly win a trivia night. After all we are the Syracuse blog that loves you back and we take that seriously.<\/p>\n

Mike Pollock vs Jeff Bergman<\/p>\n

Two voice actors square off this week. We\u2019ve got the Syracuse alum Pollock who voiced Dr. Eggman in several Sonic the Hedgehog series facing off with Pitt alum Bergman, who is the modern voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Fred Flintstone.<\/p>\n

Pitt punter Caleb Junko comes from a football family. His brother and uncle both played at Pitt while his father played at Akron. He\u2019s averaging 44 yards per kick this year. We don\u2019t know what kind of belt buckles he owns or if he\u2019s ever done a guest spot with the Pitt Panther like Jack Stonehouse did with Otto.<\/p>\n

Orangeawatha Miron Court Special Menu Item<\/p>\n

Thanks to Orangeawatha we now that the Miron Victory Court will have a specialty item for each opponent this year. Are yinz ready to have some pierogies and a Pittsburgh salad?<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Does Fran break out something new this week to change the luck around? He\u2019s done mostly branded truckers this season and we know there is some DART magic left\u2026if Syracuse isn\u2019t forcing him to push licensed products instead\u2026<\/p>\n

The Official #FakeNunes Game Prediction<\/p>\n

Pat Narduzzi has dominated this series since back in the days of the Rhode Island Kiwi Incident<\/a>. Last year Pitt\u2019s defense had Kyle McCord seeing stars and Orange fans get that sick feeling when Kyle Louis gets a 1st half pick-six. Syracuse battles back using a blocked punt and a strip sack to get a halftime lead. The game is close into the 4th when Desmond Reid takes a direct snap and throws a touchdown pass. Narduzzi\u2019s shenanigans pay off as he gets the last laugh again.<\/p>\n
