The Syracuse Orange got back on the winning track last weekend. And now at 5-2, SU has a big opportunity ahead as they hope to earn win No. 6 and lock up bowl eligibility on Saturday night against the N.C. State Wolfpack.
Due to weird scheduling quirks, the Orange face all three North Carolina schools on the slate in consecutive weeks. They already beat UNC. This week is NC State, then Wake Forest completes the trilogy on the road at the start of November. Before getting to SU’s fierce rivalry with the Deacs, however, there’s still the matter of ending a four-game losing streak against State.
