Syracuse Orange Game Notes
Garrett Shrader completed 9 of 21 passes for 99 yards during Saturday’s 41-3 defeat against Florida State. He also had seven rushes for -10 yards. Shrader had his worst day on the year as he couldn’t get away from the Florida State defense. Things should get a bit easier next week as Syracuse will travel to Virginia Tech.
Virginia Tech Hokies Game Notes
Grant Wells (ankle) is close to 75 percent healthy, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports. Head coach Brent Pry said Wells is close to 75 percent healthy, and that he’s currently mobile enough to protect himself, but isn’t quite ready to make plays with his feet. Wells has missed the last five games with his ankle injury, but it finally appears he is on the right trajectory to play again soon. The bye week this week will give him extra time to get healthy ahead of the Oct. 26 clash versus Syracuse.
