QUOTE TO NOTE: “Notre Dame is not in the ACC. It doesn’t apply to our conference goals, but it’s a game that gives us an opportunity to prove that we belong. To prove we are better than what people think we are. It doesn’t mean we are going to prove it. It just means that we have an opportunity. This football team (Syracuse) was picked to be dead last, and now we are at where we are. We’re on the map. Now, we have the opportunity to get a red circle on the map.” — Syracuse coach Dino Babers commenting on Saturday’s matchup with Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium.
