GAME SUMMARIES

LYNCHBURG, Va. – No. 22 Syracuse (1-0) smothered Liberty (0-1) by the score of 24-0 at Williams Stadium in the first meeting between the two teams. The Orange defense registered eight sacks, four takeaways and held the Flames to -4 yards rushing. Defensive linemen Kendall Coleman and Josh Black had two sacks apiece to lead the charge, and Syracuse’s eight quarterback takedowns were one short of the school record. Running backs Moe Neal, Abdul Adamsand Jarveon Howard all scored rushing touchdowns. The shutout was the 44th for the Orange in a season-opening game and the first for the team in a true road game since a 24-0 blanking of Tulane in 1991. With the victory, the Orange extended their winning streak in season openers to six. Linebacker Lakiem Williams paced the defense with a career-high 11 tackles, including 1.5 sacks. Quarterback Tommy DeVito made his first career start and distributed the ball to eight different receivers, completing 17-of-35 passes for 176 yards. For Liberty, the loss ended the Flames’ four-game home winning streak and spoiled the debut of head coach Hugh Freeze, who coached the game from a hospital bed in the press box.

RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State (4-2, 1-1 ACC) scored the game’s first 16 points and held off a fourth-quarter Syracuse rally for a 16-10 victory at Carter-Finley Stadium. The Orange (3-3, 0-2 ACC) had an opportunity to win in the final minute, but their drive stalled in Wolfpack territory and time ran out. Quarterback Tommy DeVito set a career high with 29 completions and recorded his second 300-yard passing game of the season. Wide receiver Trishton Jackson caught nine balls for 106 yards and scored Syracuse’s only touchdown on a 2-yard grab in the fourth quarter. It was Jackson’s third straight game with a TD catch. Linebacker Andrew Armstrong led a strong defensive effort, finishing with a personal-best 14 tackles. He also intercepted a pass. NC State linebacker Louis Acceus tied Armstrong for game-high tackling honors with 14 stops, including three of the Wolfpack’s eight sacks. NC State’s only touchdown came on a pass from wide receiver Thayer Thomas to running back Trent Pennix after Thomas received a lateral. The Wolfpack improved to 6-1 against Syracuse in games played in Raleigh.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Orange outscored the Panthers 14-3 in the second half, but Syracuse (3-4, 0-3 ACC) couldn’t overtake Pittsburgh (5-2, 2-1 ACC) and lost 27-20 at the Dome.

Starter Tommy DeVito absorbed six of those blows before exiting the game in the third quarter in favor of Welch. The loss ended Syracuse’s six-game winning streak in Friday night games.
