Expectations are very very high for tonight
As the Syracuse Orange get ready to face the NC State Wolfpack tonight, we bring you the results of this week’s fan survey.
The majority of Syracuse fans felt LeQuint Allen deserved the MVP for his four-touchdown performance against UNLV last Friday night. Hard to argue with the selection, especially after Allen’s incredible effort to convert a critical 4th down late in the 4th quarter in Vegas.
Based on our survey, a loss tonight in Raleigh will be met with a lot of anger and frustration. We’ve pointed out that Syracuse has only won once on the road at NC State but the expectation is that Syracuse will enter the bye week at 5-1 and not 4-2.
It’s clear that tonight is an important game for the trajectory of the season. A win and Syracuse is one win away from bowl eligibility and gets time off to prepare for Pittsburgh. Winning the next two games would bring a lot of energy for the return to the Dome and the final three home games of the 2024 season.
