It must have been something in the air in Winston-Salem, N.C. on Saturday as the temperature at sunrise was 44.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
Whether or not it was an omen of what was to come at BB&T Field, the Syracuse Orange seized the moment and left Wake Forest with a victory thus ending their winless streak in the ACC away from the confines of the Carrier Dome. While SU wasn’t able to air it out at the level of efficiency they did against North Carolina State, the ground attack and timely defensive plays helped shift the game in Syracuse’s favor after weathering an early 10-point deficit.
