SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Wake Forest decided to limit Syracuse's passing attack. So, the Orange decided that if they were to beat the Demon Deacons they would have to do it a different way.

A week after throwing for 480 yards against NC State, the second-highest team passing total in program history, Syracuse ran the ball 60 times for 264 yards (4.4 avg.) and five touchdowns yesterday, using a steady and persistent ground attack en route to a 41-24 victory at BB&T Field.

"It's what the defense was giving us," head coach Dino Babers said after the game.
