Syracuse Rallies Past N.C. State 34-31 with Late Touchdown Pass Play

Syracuse rallied from a 15-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun NC State 34-31 on Saturday at Carter Finley Stadium, keeping the Orange's bowl eligibility hopes alive with two games remaining.
The Wolfpack led 28-13 to begin the fourth quarter, fueled by a dominant third-quarter stretch that included three touchdowns before ultimately faltering in their final home game.
Calvin Russell III recorded 17 catches to lead the Syracuse offense, while Steve Angeli threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns, and defensive lineman Tunmise Adeleye returned an interception 18 yards for a crucial late score.
Following the defeat, which dropped NC State to 4-6, the Wolfpack announced that former quarterback Philip Rivers will serve as the program's next head coach.
Syracuse, now 5-5, must secure one victory in its final two games against Boston College or Notre Dame to achieve the six-win threshold required for bowl eligibility.
