On the SVPod, ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt and “Stanford Steve” Coughlin broke down the Week 4 college football slate, including another bad Clemson loss, this time to Syracuse, 34-21 at Death Valley.
“Syracuse went in there and jumped them,” Van Pelt said. “Were up early, up several scores early. They had yet another one of these prolonged weather delays. I wondered, can that help the home team? No. Syracuse was better. They’re just better.”
Clemson, which began the season ranked No. 4 in the AP Poll and had preseason national championship aspirations, fell to 1-3 this season and 0-2 in ACC play.
