Today marked the first game on Syracuse’s campus between two Top-20 teams in the last 30 or so years. The Syracuse Orange were able to hold off the NC State Wolfpack, with a final score of 24-9, to move to 6-0 (3-0) on the year. The Orange are now officially bowl eligible for the first time since the 2018 season.
The opening drive, the Syracuse Orange set the tone and marched down the field to score. Garrett Shrader hit a few underneath passes, Sean Tucker broke a Sean Tucker-esque 38-yard run and the Orange went up 7-0 on a Shrader to Orange Gadsden fade route to the corner of the end zone and Andre Szmyt conversion.
