SYRACUSE, N.Y. — N.C. State’s defense did all it could for as long as it could.
But this day, against undefeated Syracuse, it wasn’t enough. The No. 18 Orange punched out a 24-9 victory over the No. 15 Wolfpack, which has an open date next week and needs one.
With quarterback Garrett Shrader and 6-foot-5 receiver Oronte Gadsden II teaming up for a couple of touchdowns, the Orange moved to 6-0 and will take a 3-0 ACC record into its next game, now a big one at Clemson. Running back Sean Tucker had a late 25-yard scoring run for Syracuse, a team with a strong blend of offense and defense.
