In a game oddly reminiscent of the 2018 matchup between the same teams in the same stadium, the Tigers struggled. But they made it out alive thanks, in part, to familiar tactics
In the end, Clemson survived Syracuse at home 27-21 to extend a nation’s leading win streak to 14 games with a late RJ Mickens interception, but it was anything but easy.
In 2018, Clemson leaned heavily on the run game. Today, Klubnik threw only four passes and a huge 50-yard touchdown run from Will Shipley that gave the Tigers the go-ahead score. Backs against the wall, Clemson’s standout defense reminded everyone why it remains one of the best units in the country, especially up front. You should not win a game with a -4 turnover margin. It’s a complete outlier that Clemson was able to do so. According to ESPN, teams -4 or worse in any FBS game this season were 0-17. But there were no panic in these Tigers, and they outlasted the Orange.
