NC State Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren has been an overall College Football odds success. However, he is not all the way there in the eyes of Wolfpack fans. Since taking over in 2013, Doeren has led the Wolfpack to six bowl games with three nine-win seasons. But he has never reached ten wins nor the ACC championship game. Of great concern is the annual loss or two that sticks in the craw of NC State fans. For example, the Wolfpack was routed in a 24-9 defeat at the upstart Syracuse Orange.

NC State QB Devin Leary is lost for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Hence, Charleston Southern graduate transfer Jack Chambers made his first NC State start at quarterback. Syracuse outgained NC State 113-55 in the first half. And then the Orange’s 10-3 lead at the break almost seemed too much to overcome.
On the other hand, NC State’s defense kept the Wolfpack in this one for a while. NC State picked off Shrader on consecutive possessions in the second quarter. However, the Wolfpack could not hold up throughout, as they allowed 389 yards to the Orange.
