Clemson travels to Syracuse for a road matchup against a team that has found some momentum, winning its last two games. The Orange present an interesting challenge, with an offense built around controlling possession and featuring one of the nation’s most productive receivers in WR Umari Hatcher. However, questions remain about quarterback play and offensive line consistency. Defensively, Syracuse has a disruptive front that creates pressure and negative plays, but its susceptibility to passing production offers Clemson an opportunity. Playing on the road, Clemson will need to handle Syracuse’s defensive pressure, limit Hatcher’s impact, and take advantage of the inconsistencies on both sides of the Orange roster.
