Wearing their fifth different uniform combination of the season (previously unheard of for this program) on a day that both Maryland and Syracuse honored the legacy of 1930s SU football/basketball standout Wilmeth Sidat-Singh, the Orange book-ended the first half with scores to take a 10-0 halftime lead.
Coming into Saturday’s game against Wake Forest, freshman wide receiver Brisly Estime had made just eight catches during his limited minutes on the field. He had been just a blip on the box score… until today, when Estime snagged more catches than any Syracuse wide receiver has made in a game all season.
One drive, one turnover, one trick play. Those three things were all Syracuse needed as they pitched a 13-0 shutout on Saturday over Wake Forest at the Carrier Dome. The win not only evened out the Orange record at 4-4 overall and 2-2 in the ACC, bit it also nudged them within two games of bowl eligibility with four games left on their schedule.
The Syracuse Orange limps into its bye week after what can only be described as a dominating dismantling at the hands of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets last week by a score of 56-0. Adapting to the brave new world of the Atlantic Coast Conference has been anything but easy. Through three games, Syracuse sits with a 1-2 record in which it has been outscored by a 115-38 mark.
