What comes up, at some point, must come back down.

A little over three weeks ago, Syracuse Orange football was at its peak. ‘Cuse was coming off a 6-0 start to the season, the team’s best start in over 30 years. After a dominant victory against the then-19th-ranked NC State Wolfpack, the Orange went to Clemson looking to make a statement.

And after three quarters, things were looking up for Syracuse. Up 21-10 at halftime and allowing zero points in the third quarter, the Orange were 15 minutes away from breaking the Clemson Tiger’s 37-game winning streak at home.
