CLEMSON – The Clemson Tigers cut into Syracuse’s lead with a 38-yard touchdown pass to make the score 10-7 with 3:21 to play in the first quarter at Memorial Stadium.
The Tigers’ first drive picked up momentum when quarterback Cade Klubnik found wide receiver Antonio Williams, newly returned from injury, for a 10-yard gain. Running back Adam Randall followed up the play with a 10-yard run of his own.
After Clemson found itself in a 2nd-and-15 situation due to an illegal snap, Randall ran for nine yards to make third down manageable, and defensive lineman Peter Woods subbed in to punch it in on fourth down.
