ORANGE BACK IN THE DOME TO HOST FIGHTING IRISH
• Syracuse will play its final non-conference game of the year when it hosts Notre Dame on Saturday.
• The game will air on ABC with Joe Tessitore (PxP), Greg McElroy (analyst) and Katie George (reporter) on the call.
• Syracuse is going for its sixth win at home, which would be its most home wins since 2018 when it also won six games in the JMA Wireless Dome.
• Saturday is an "Orange Out" in the Dome and all 'Cuse fans are encouraged to wear orange.

FAN INFORMATION
• Saturday's game is an Orange Out, meaning 'Cuse fans should wear their orange in support of the team.
• The quad opens at 9 a.m. and all gates open at 10 a.m.

CLIMBING THE CHARTS
• RB Sean Tucker continues his climb on Syracuse's all-time rushing list. He increased his career yardage total to 2,820 against Clemson. He becomes just the sixth player in program history to rush for more than 2,800 yards.
• He needs 50 more yards to move into the top five on the school career rushing list to pass James Mungro (2,869). He's now 114 behind Larry Csonka (2,934) for fourth.

THE MOB DELIVERING
• 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).

SERIES HISTORY
• Syracuse and Notre Dame will meet for the 11th time overall and second time in the JMA Wireless Dome.
• The Fighting Irish hold a 7-3 lead in the series with the Orange winning the only previous meeting played in the JMA Wireless Dome.
• The series dates back to 1914, but seven of the previous 10 meetings have come since 2003.
• Four of those prior meetings have been neutral site games, twice at Yankee Stadium and twice at MetLife Stadium.

DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWNS
• Syracuse has three defensive touchdowns this season, which tie the Orange for third in the nation.
• DL Caleb Okechukwu had an interception return vs. Purdue and sophomore DB Duce Chestnut had a pick six in Syracuse's win against Wagner. DB Ja'had Carter picked up a fumble and returned it 90 yards for a touchdown against Clemson.
• Okechukwu was the first Orange defensive lineman to return an interception for a touchdown since Donnie Simmons did so against Wake Forest in 2015.
• The three defensive touchdowns match Syracuse's total from 2020 for the most under the direction of head coach Dino Babers.

A WIN WOULD …
• Improve Dino Babers' record to 36-44 as head coach of the Orange.
• Give Syracuse a 6-0 record at home.
• Mark the first time Syracuse has won all of its non-conference games since joining the BIG EAST Conference in 1991.
• Give Syracuse its 748th all-time victory (includes 11 wins from 2004-06 that were vacated by the NCAA). The Orange currently rank 22nd on the FBS ledger of winningest programs. Syracuse is one of 32 FBS schools to have accumulated 700+ wins.
