Syracuse closes its road slate at NC State on Saturday. Here's five things to know about the matchup:
1. Tucker's on Record Watch
Star running back Sean Tucker, who ranks second nationally in rushing, is near a record that has stood for more than 40 years.
He is 10 yards behind Joe Morris' single-season rushing record of 1,372, which was set in 1979 – before the Carrier Dome was constructed.
2. Tough Sledding
Syracuse will close the year with back-to-back games against teams currently ranked in the AP Top-25 and College Football Playoff rankings.
