NC State had a season-low 255 yards of total offense.

The NC State defense picked off two passes in the second quarter - one by Tanner Ingle, the second by Aydan White - holding the Orange scoreless after Syracuse led 10-3 after one.

After their first touchdown, Syracuse would later add a field goal from Andre Szmyt to take a 10-3 lead at the half.

NC State has a short week to prepare for their next opponent as they’re hosting Virginia Tech on Thursday in North Carolina’s state capital who like them lost their previous game. Though, unlike NC State they lost to Miami 20-14 in Blacksburg.

In Virginia Tech’s 20-14 loss to Miami Saturday Virginia Tech (2-5, 1-3) trailed 20-0 before scoring twice in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Grant Wells' 3-yard touchdown run with 3:20 left cut the deficit to 20-14.

Miami, though, converted twice on third down on the ensuing drive, with the final conversion coming on Van Dyke's 9-yard run on third-and-6 from the Miami 46 with under a minute left.

Van Dyke completed 29 of 46 passes for the Hurricanes, who finished with 458 yards. Young had nine catches for 110 yards.

The Hurricanes picked up a much-needed win despite playing without five starters who were out with injuries. They controlled the game for the most part, but season highs in penalties (17) and penalty yardage (159) allowed the Hokies to stick around. Miami had the fewest penalties and least amount of penalty yardage in the ACC coming into this one.
