Clemson is set to face Syracuse in an upcoming ACC showdown, building on their recent win against Florida State.

That defensive pressure could prove critical in the matchup against Syracuse. Syracuse, on the other hand, showed their ability to close out tight games, with Steve Angeli and Noah Meyers combining for a last-second touchdown win against SMU.
For Clemson, this game could serve as a valuable test to keep pace with the league's top teams. Syracuse, meanwhile, needs wins to bolster their position in the ACC standings. Both programs recognize the significance of this game, with a Syracuse victory potentially altering their season outlook. The matchup takes place on Saturday, November 7, at noon ET, at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse. ESPN2 will broadcast the game.
