4) What do you believe will be the biggest factor in deciding the game?

Paul: Make no mistake about it, this is going to be a dog fight. Syracuse has their 2-3 zone. Georgia Tech has one of the best defenses in the country. I don’t think we’re going to have an offensive shootout in this one. The real key to this game will be who can take the most body blows? There’s going to be sloppiness and turnovers and it won’t be pretty. Whatever team can withstand the crap and survive will win.
