In ACC states, streaming options include the Fox Sports Go app. Outside ACC states, the game can be streamed on ACC Network Extra on the Watch ESPN app.
The game announcers will be Wes Durham and James Bates.
Syracuse seeks to keep the momentum going following last week’s 51-41 victory over the North Carolina State Wolfpack at the Dome that got the Cuse bowl-eligible for the first time in five years and ranked in the two major polls (AP and Coaches) for the first time in 17 years. Most importantly, Syracuse was ranked in the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings, checking in at No. 19. The Orange had never before made the CFP rankings.
This weekend’s meeting is the 8th all-time between Syracuse and Wake. The Demon Deacons lead the series 4-3, including winning the last two games.
To get a win Saturday, the Orange will have to overturn some harsh recent history. Lately, the month of November has been a veritable house of horrors for Syracuse, with the program losing 15 of its last 16 football games played in the month. That includes all eight November contests under Coach Dino Babers in his first two seasons at the helm.
