Injury-riddled Clemson roster looks to avenge 2025 loss. Final predictions for Tigers at Syracuse.
Nov. 6—CLEMSON — The Tigers aren't overlooking Syracuse for a number of reasons. Syracuse is 4-4 (2-4 ACC) but is better than its record shows. The Orange won their last two games against North Carolina and then-No. 19 SMU after starting 0-4 in conference play. Their four losses have all come within two possessions or fewer. Meanwhile Clemson (5-3, 3-2) is only one game better overall and had ...
The Clemson Tigers are preparing to face the Syracuse Orange, seeking to avenge their 34-21 loss to the same team last season. Despite both teams being 5-3 and 3-2 overall, Clemson's physical style of play could prove challenging for Syracuse. Freshman center Grant Wise is set to replace injured Harris Sewell, while senior running back Jarvis Green will make his first career start after missing much of the season due to injury.
Syracuse's quarterback Steve Angeli, who has been the team's driving force, is questionable for the game due to a recent Achilles injury. Syracuse's star wide receiver Umari Hatcher will be tested against Clemson's secondary. The key matchup will likely be between the defensive lines of both teams, who are both top-20 in sacks this season.
Clemson's dominant defensive line, led by Will Heldt, will need to be more disruptive than the Orange's offensive line. Clemson's injuries are also a concern, but Syracuse has a more challenging injury situation with key players like Angeli potentially unavailable for the game. Final prediction: Clemson 21, Syracuse 15.
