BLACKSBURG, V.A. – Syracuse Football fell to Virginia Tech 38-10 in Thursday night’s matchup at Lane Stadium. This is the Oranges fourth consecutive ACC loss.
After a tough stretch in their schedule, the Orange were looking to pick up a road win but they didn’t get the outcome they wanted.
Quarterback Garrett Shrader threw for only 138 passing yards with one touchdown completion to tight end Dan Villari. Wide receiver Damien Alford contributed four catches for 70 yards.
Linebacker Marlow Wax led the team with 14 tackles for a new career best. Wax’s performance was also the most by a Syracuse player so far this season.

Virginia Tech had 528 total yards. Quarterback Kyron Drones had 210 passing yards. The Hokies came out strong as they picked up points on their first six possessions.
Head Coach Dino Babers said they started flat and he isn’t satisfied with that.
“We are going to go back and we will do and I will do whatever we can to make sure that we have an opportunity to find a way to start faster,” said Babers.
Shrader said there is a lot of football left and the team is looking to turn things around.
“We have to stay together, we have a great group of guys,” Shrader said. “Hopefully we can flip the script this week.”
For the first time in a month, the Orange return home for their next matchup against Boston College Friday Nov. 3 for a 7:30 p.m kickoff.
