GameThread: Syracuse Orange (4-5) vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-4)

The Syracuse Orange (4-5, 2-3) host the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-4, 2-3) today in a critical game for both teams. SU’s lost two straight and whether he plays or not, Eric Dungey will be banged up. Wake Forest lost last week, but is also just one win away from bowl eligibility (while the Orange need two wins).

The game kicks off at 3 p.m. ET from the Carrier Dome. If you’re not at the game, you can watch on your local RSN affiliate or stream it on ACC Network Extra (Watch ESPN).
