Syracuse is coming off a bye week, following its 44-37 overtime loss at Pittsburgh on Oct. 6. Before that, the Orange had its four-game, season-opening unbeaten streak snapped in a 27-23 defeat at No. 3 Clemson on Sept. 29, after leading most of the game. Both Orange losses came after Syracuse had established leads, only to see them evaporate late with the inability to stop the opponent’s running game.
The Tar Heels enter the contest off a heartbreaking 22-19 home loss to Virginia Tech last Saturday night. The Hokies scored the game-winning touchdown with under 30 seconds left to play.
Saturday’s meeting is the fifth all-time between Syracuse and North Carolina. The Cuse and UNC have evenly split the first four meetings, with the visiting team wining each contest. This is the first time the programs have played in an ACC game. The Orange just joined the league in 2013 and are in a different division than the Heels, so they play only once every six years.
