No. 18 Syracuse hosts No. 15 NC State with lots on the line
No. 18 Syracuse hosts No. 15 North Carolina State on Saturday. The game is important for both teams as they are in the hunt for the Atlantic Division title. More than 45,000 tickets have been sold for first game in Syracuse featuring two top-20 teams since 1998. N.C. State is coming off a gritty comeback win against Florida State. It is also without its star quarterback Devin Leary, who injured his shoulder in third quarter. If Learys can't play, Jack Chambers will take over the offense. Both teams have the top two defenses statistically in ACC.
