Three keys for Syracuse against Georgia Tech

The Syracuse Orange opened its first Atlantic Coast Conference road venture in style with a 24-10 win against the North Carolina State Wolfpack last Saturday in Raleigh. Both squads struggled to finish drives as both Riley Dixon and Wil Baumann each punted seven times. The game remained tight midway through the fourth quarter with the score tied at 10 apiece. That’s when Syracuse’s running game took control.

Syracuse needs to put Clemson loss aside as NC State awaits

A mere 38 seconds into Saturday’s Atlantic Coast Conference home opener, Syracuse found itself on the wrong end on a 60-yard touchdown completion from Tahj Boyd to Adam Humphries. The Tigers struck paydirt two more times in the first quarter as they raced out to a 21-point lead effectively ending the game the Orange could get going. And that is why Clemson is a national championship contender.
