After being on the wrong side of a three-point difference for the last three games, Syracuse finally came out on top with a five-point win against Virginia Tech. Like its win against Liberty, the Orange won in walk-off fashion with quarterback Garrett Shrader leading the game-winning drive.

Shrader finished with 174 rushing yards and 236 passing yards, aided on the attack by Sean Tucker, who had 112 yards on the ground. Tucker recorded his sixth straight game with over 100 rushing yards, the longest streak in Syracuse history.
