CLEMSON – The Clemson Tigers scored on only one of eight offensive possessions and had three turnovers on downs in the second half of a 34-21 loss to Syracuse at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Although quarterback Cade Klubnik finished with 363 passing yards, his season-high by 133 yards, and all three of the Tigers’ touchdowns, his 37 completions on 60 attempts were not enough to ensure a Clemson victory.
After the Orange (3-1, 1-0 ACC) opened the game with a touchdown, the visitors recovered possession with a surprise onside kick, which led to a 10-0 deficit before the Tigers’ offense had a chance to construct a drive.
