Clemson hasn’t lost more than three games in a season since 2011. A loss on Saturday to a 4-0 Syracuse team would drop the Tigers to 2-3.
Clemson is a 6.5-point favorite and it’s worth noting that the Carrier Dome has been a tough place to play for the Tigers in recent seasons. Clemson needed a late field goal to win by 10 at Syracuse in 2015, lost in 2017 after Trevor Lawrence was forced to leave the game and escaped with a 17-14 win in 2021. Syracuse also enters this game with an offense that has scored at least 29 points in each of its wins so far this season and a QB in Garrett Shrader who is averaging seven yards a carry and has scored six TDs. A win by the Orange wouldn’t be a massive shock.
Stanford Steve on ESPN is a . Picking Clemson with points, claiming Syracuse is weak and hasn't faced anyone of Clemson quality. And their quack QB impressed him last week.
I think he should keep his Theranos (see: Stanford) trap shut.
