Syracuse is coming off a 50-33 loss against Notre Dame on Oct. 1 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. For the fifth straight game, redshirt senior wide receiver Amba Etta-Tawo eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark, setting a new program standard. Sophomore quarterback Eric Dungey was responsible for all five touchdowns against the Fighting Irish, as well.
"I think the process is working," head coach Dino Babers said in his weekly news conference on Monday morning. "There are certain things that are not there yet, but those things we will either develop or be brought in. I think when it's all said and done, you guys will like the cake that we're baking. Right now is not the time to eat the batter. Wait for us to bake the cake."
Wake Forest enters Saturday night's contest with a 4-1 overall record. The Demon Deacons are coming off their first setback of the 2016 campaign, losing at NC State on Oct. 8. Prior to its loss against the Wolfpack, Wake Forest was off to its best start since 2006.
"They're a confident team based off of their record," added Babers. "They haven't had a lot of injuries, so they're playing with the same personnel that they started the season with. They're able to work their entire package, the same package since two-a-days. They're a good unit and it's going to be a really tough game."
Saturday's game features two former Bowling Green head coaches in Babers and Wake Forest's Dave Clawson. Clawson coached the Falcons from 2009-13, while Babers followed the next two seasons.
