The North Carolina State Wolfpack snapped a four-game losing streak with their 35-20 victory over the Syracuse Orange. The Wolfpack had their best game of the season on offense, gaining 546 yards as a unit. The offense threw for a season-high 360 passing yards against Syracuse.

Running back Matt Dayes found the endzone three times and ran for 108 yards to lead the Wolfpack offense. Quarterback Ryan Finley threw for 340 yards and a touchdown in the game. Receiver Kelvin Harmon had a career-high 101 receiving yards with four catches.

It was a successful week for the Wolfpack as they got their second win in ACC play this season. The road ahead will prove to be tough but they have the pieces on offense to keep up with most conference foes.

This Week: Miami

The North Carolina Wolfpack have qualified for bowl season in their last two seasons. This week and next week will be tough for the Wolfpack as they look for that elusive sixth win. They haven’t play the Hurricanes since 2012, but they lost that meeting 44-37.
