Who has the edge? Has Clemson learned from its mistakes in the past?
Top-ranked Clemson heads into today’s game at Death Valley with a different kind of challenge. The Tigers are a heavy favorite against a Syracuse team that is reeling at the moment.
The Orange has been decimated by injuries and players who have opted out due to COVID-19. All the attrition has caught up to the program, as they come in 1-4 overall (1-3 ACC) and fresh off a home loss to Liberty.
“It is so easy to look at their record and say, ‘Oh well, they are not a good team’ or something like that, but that is not how we operate,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said. “For us, every game is the biggest game. That is just how we go about it. We always have.”
