Clemson Football: Did Syracuse give the formula for beating the Tigers?

The shock of the season happened last Friday the 13th when the Syracuse Orange defeated Clemson football 27-24 in the Carrier Dome.

Since then, we’ve received several inquiries about how “the Orange provided the formula for beating the Tigers.”

Many Clemson football fans are saying that the defense falters against an up-tempo offense and that the Tigers’ opponents will use that to their advantage in the coming weeks.

Is it true?

After all, Syracuse did 440 yards of total offense. The Orange scored the most points on Clemson’s defense this season (27).

The Tigers didn’t provide much pressure and Syracuse had wide receivers running and up and down the field.
