CLEMSON FOOTBALL & RECRUITING COVERAGE |
For the first time in the 81-season history of Memorial Stadium, Clemson will host a matchup of two undefeated teams with records of 6-0 or better when the No. 5 Tigers (7-0) host the No. 14 Syracuse Orange (6-0).
As Clemson University welcomes its alumni home this weekend, the game will also serve as a Homecoming for the Tigers, as the team will play its first home game following back-to-back ACC road contests over the last two weeks. The game will feature a bit of a scheduling anomaly, as Clemson has already completed its road conference schedule while Saturday's contest will represent Syracuse's first ACC road game this season. Clemson's 4-0 road record in ACC play marked its seventh perfect road record in conference play since the ACC was founded in 1953, joining the 1981, 1995, 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019 campaigns.
Syracuse puts together a nice opening drive, but the Tigers hold on a key 4th-and-4.

Clemson needs points on this drive.
Looming large is that 90-yard fumble return for the Orange.
Tough, for sure. That fumble return was a killer in the first half.BradyH said:
This is frustrating/headscratching. Two drives in a row our RBs are doing the job moving the ball. Instead of leaving it with them we let DJ run the ball and get stopped. Gotta learn to stay with what works.
