Get ready for another one under the lights
Syracuse Orange football fans may as well become nocturnal for the month of October, as following this Friday’s late-night matchup at #25 UNLV, ‘Cuse will play another opponent under a dark sky and bright lights.
The Week 7 contest at NC State will kick-off at 8pm and be broadcast on the ACC Newtork.
It will be SU’s third primetime game already this season, with a fourth to follow at Pitt on a Thursday night in Week 9. The team had four total night games during the 2023 regular season.
Syracuse’s last evening trip to Carter-Finley Stadium was in 2019, a 16-10 Wolfpack victory. The Orange won the last matchup in the series but have struggled overall, with a 3-13 all-time record and just one win in eight tries on the road.
Still, those teams didn’t have a quarterback throwing at the pace Kyle McCord has been this season. It bodes well for this matchup, as NC State’s defense is conceding points at the highest rate in the conference so far (33.6 PPG) while sporting the fourth-lowest rate on offense (27.4 PPG).
