Syracuse-Clemson Predictions (PS; PS Staff)
BRENT AXE
Clemson 28, Syracuse 10
I don’t think Syracuse is going to be as overwhelmed by “Death Valley” as much as many believe. They will be overwhelmed by this Clemson defense.
I like the progress AJ Long is making at quarterback, but he’s in for a rude awakening this week. Clemson’s front line will dominate and take away the best parts of Long’s game.

SU Releases Injury Report Ahead of Clemson Game (DO; D'Abbraccio)
Syracuse released its injury report Thursday night ahead of Saturday’s 7 p.m. matchup against Clemson on the road.
Some notables who are declared out for the game are: offensive tackle Ivan Foy (lower body), cornerback Wayne Morgan (lower body), nose tackle Wayne Williams (lower body) and quarterback Austin Wilson (upper body).
Wide receiver Ben Lewis is questionable with an upper-body injury and offensive linemen John Miller and Rob Trudo are listed as probables due to lower-body injuries.
As head coach Scott Shafer announced in his Thursday morning press conference, H-backs Ashton Broyld and Brisly Estime have recovered from their lower-body injuries, practiced this week and are available for Saturday’s game. Broyld has missed SU’s last four games and Estime missed the last three.

ACC News
Duke Johnson Ran for 249 Yards and a TD to Lead the Hurricanes to an Easy Victory
Miami and Duke Johnson Embarrass Virginia Tech in Blacksburg 30-6 (PS; Stevens)
Miami didn't look like it had much trouble in its 30-6 defeat of Virginia Tech on Thursday night, and it can thank its far-from-complex offensive strategy.
The Hurricanes kept handing it off to Duke Johnson, even when he probably shouldn't have been in there in the fourth quarter, and Virginia Tech never had an answer for the stellar junior tailback or the feisty line he was running behind.
There was little reason for Miami (5-3, 2-2 ACC) to get cute, little reason for it not to have 53 rushing attempts in its 69 offensive snaps. Johnson, with 249 yards on 29 carries, bulldozed the Hokies (4-4, 1-3) time and again on his way to a career night.
This was a statement for the Hurricanes on a few levels. They hadn't won on the road yet this season, falling at Louisville, Nebraska and Georgia Tech, and a dominating performance in Blacksburg isn't typical (even if the Hokies are no longer what they were even a few years ago). This was a good sign.

Just to see Sammy come out on Sunday and get those two scores was exciting,” Williams said. “And then on Monday, to see Nuk and Martavis both play on Monday Night Football and they both had great games. For me to be the next guy in line is exciting. Just to hear Jon Gruden say that he sees we have a great group of guys here was good to hear. But I don’t think Coach (Jeff) Scott should be nervous.”
Williams is not only learning the nuances of how to be a receiver, he’s learning how to be a leader to a young but talented group of wideouts. <p>“We're a young group," he said. "We are trying to grow as a team and get better every week. It's not frustrating at all what's happened the last two weeks because we still were able to win. We are a young group. We're getting there."
