Syracuse had some good plays and plenty of chances but the Wolfpack shredded the Orange defense all day.
Down 21-9 at the half, the Syracuse Orange continued the momentum they took into the locker room and brought it with them into the second half with a 75-yard touchdown run by Jordan Fredericks to make it a one-score game. Then, the N.C. State Wolfpack remembered who they were and who we were and basically put the game out of reach before the end of the third quarter.
SU mounted a bit of a comeback in the fourth but it was all a too little too late and SU lost their eighth-straight game, 42-29.
