This will be the 61st all-time meeting between Syracuse and West Virginia. The Orange hold a 33-27 lead in the series. The teams last met in the 2012 Pinstripe Bowl in the Bronx, a game the Orange won, 38-14.
This meeting could be a high-scoring shootout, with both teams scoring an average of 40 points per game this season. However, West Virginia will be without its star quarterback Will Grier, who has decided to sit out the game to prepare for the 2019 NFL Draft. Grier threw 37 touchdown passes this season.
Syracuse says it also sold its ticket allotment for the 2010 and 2012 Pinstripe Bowls in which the team played.
