Clemson vs. Syracuse: Preview and predictions

Clemson returns home after a stinging defeat last week at Georgia Tech to face the Syracuse Orange on Saturday at noon.

The Tigers fell out of the top 25 rankings and are in desperate need of an ACC win after starting conference play 0-1. They’re also 1-2 overall to start the season for the first time since 2014.

Syracuse (2-1, 0-0) is fresh off a 66-24 victory over Colgate last week. The Orange beat UConn in Week 2 after losing at Tennessee to start the season. This will be Syracuse’s first ACC game of 2025.

The Tigers have never lost to the Orange inside Death Valley, going 5-0 all-time at home and 10-2 in the series.
