Rivalry: 4-1, SU

Current Streak: 4, SU

First Meeting: In 2006, Perry Patterson hit Rice Moss for SU’s only touchdown. Micah Andrews led Wake with 142 yards rushing on 20 carries en route to a 20-10 victory in Winston-Salem.

Last Meeting: In his first start, Eric Dungey threw for two touchdowns and Syracuse eventually cruised to a 30-17 victory in September 2015.

Head Coaches: SU: Dino Babers (1st Year, 2-3), Wake: Dave Clawson (3rd Year, 10-19)

Last Year: Wake Forest finished the season 3–9 (1–7), good for sixth in the ACC Atlantic. Their lone victory?

Last Game: NC State took a 17-0 lead in the first quarter before Wake eventually got the deficit down to 10 in the second half. However, it wasn’t enough and the Wolfpack won the game 33-16. It was Wake’s first loss of the season.

"Fear Me, I've Killed Hundreds of Timelords": Wake is scoring on the ground (10 TDs) way more than the air (three TDs). While Matt Colburn is clearly the No. 1 back with 337 yards and a score, both QB John Wolford and Cade Carney have three scores on the ground to their name. Wake has four players with at least 24 carries and 125 yards. So I suppose we need to fear their running game in general.

If Syracuse Wins: Hey, Syracuse is 3-3 at the halfway point! That’s pretty good, all things considered!

If Syracuse Loses: Other than Boston College, is there a game after this you think we’ve got a better chance in?

Fun Fact: Syracuse has never lost to Wake Forest in our entire, years-long history playing as ACC rivals.
