The Syracuse Orange are now 5-2 and knocking on the door of bowl eligibility. The first team to stand in their way there: the 5-1 N.C. State Wolfpack, who are fresh off a blowout loss to Clemson and also looking to seal up a bowl bid this weekend.
For those tired of the noon-ish kickoffs, it appears the ACC and ESPN have listened to your pleas. This game will start at 7 p.m. ET and be broadcast on ESPN2 for those not in attendance. With such a convenient game time, that should leave plenty of time to tailgate, rake leaves, apple pick or whatever else it is you do before Syracuse games begin.
