NC State will host Syracuse tonight in their ACC home opener at 8pm, marking the 13th time the two teams have met.
The Wolfpack have been dominant in the series dating back to 1972, winning 10 of the 12. As ACC opponents, NC State is 5-2 against Syracuse.
Syracuse’s first victory over NC State was in Wolfpack Head Coach Dave Doeren’s first season (2013). Ironically, Doeren got revenge, picking up his first career ACC victory over the Orange in 2014. Doeren is 4-2 against Syracuse.
Last year’s matchup was an offensive explosion, with the two teams combined for 1,102 yards of total offense.
