If there is any team that has given top-ranked Clemson a consistent run for its money, it’s Syracuse. The Orange have been relentless the last couple of years and they don’t plan on easing off of the Tigers anytime soon.
Two years ago, Clemson traveled to Syracuse for a Friday night matchup, and the outcome stunned everyone as the Orange upset the Tigers with a 27-24 victory.
Fast forward a year later at Death Valley and it looked as if the Orange may pull off the shocker again.
After Trevor Lawrence was knocked out of the game due to injury in the second quarter, backup quarterback Chase Brice stepped up and saved the day when he led Clemson to a 27-23 victory.
