The 411: Syracuse Takes Clemson Behind Woodshed
CLEMSON — The 2025 campaign continues to be a disaster for the Clemson football team.
Syracuse came into Death Valley on Saturday, scored a touchdown on the game’s opening possession, and never looked back as the Orange dominated on their way to a 34-21 win.
The Tigers are now 1-3 for the first time since 2004, and have started 0-2 in ACC play for the first time since 2010, the last time Clemson finished with a losing record. Dabo Swinney’s team has now dropped its last three home games to Power-4 opponents.
With the win, Syracuse snaps a six-game losing streak to Clemson. It’s the Orange’s first win in the series since 2017 and their first-ever at Death Valley.
