NC State, returning home after suffering yet another devastating road loss, squares off this Saturday with the Orange of Syracuse in a late-season ACC contest. While the division title chances for the Wolfpack are slim and mostly out of their hands, any hopes hinge on winning this weekend and next - and getting some help from another orange clad foe.
Syracuse features an offense centered around one of the nation’s best running backs in Sean Tucker, as well as the dynamic abilities of quarterback Garrett Shrader. The two have combined for over 2,300 scrimmage yards this season (almost 2,100 of which have been on the ground), as well as 26 total touchdowns (24 on the ground).
