Nine days after Syracuse’s (3-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) last game, a 41-3 win over Holy Cross, the Orange are still trying to get fully healthy leading up to Thursday’s contest at North Carolina State (3-2, 0-1).
SU’s first idle week of the season came at an “interesting” time, head coach Dino Babers said, but the status of usual starters Sam Heckel, Andre Cisco and Ifeatu Melifonwu are still up in the air with three days until the Orange’s matchup against the Wolfpack.
“Right now I wouldn’t bet on those guys playing,” Babers said during his press conference on Monday.
