People have been talking about how well Syracuse has competed with Clemson since we joined the ACC in 2013. We’ve had two losses that were blow-outs from the beginning, (2013 and 2016), two games where we were in it through the third quarter but the gamer got away from us in the 4th, (2019-2020) and six games decided by 10 points or less that could have gone either way. How does our performance against Clemson compare to that of other schools? Here are the scores, taken from this source:

Of the teams that have played Clemson regularly, only Florida State had been more competitive than SU and we have the same number of games in which we were at least withing 10 points of them when the game ended, (6). Wake has been the worst of the regular opponents, losing by an average of 28 points per game and with no victories. Of all the teams, the least competitive has been…wait for it….The U. The Canes have lost by an average of 39 points to the Tigers.
