SYRACUSE, N.Y. — After opening the 2019 season with two victories at Memorial Stadium, No. 1 Clemson makes its road debut tonight when it faces Syracuse at The Dome at 7:30.
The teams played one of college football’s most compelling games a season ago, when Clemson overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit for a 27-23 victory. Backup quarterback Chase Brice, who had entered the week as the team’s third-string quarterback, etched his name in Clemson lore after entering the contest in relief of an injured Trevor Lawrence and guiding Clemson on its 13-play, 94-yard game-winning drive.
Of course, the last time the Tigers visited Syracuse was the last time they lost a regular season game.
