Syracuse needs to put Clemson loss aside as NC State awaits

A mere 38 seconds into Saturday’s Atlantic Coast Conference home opener, Syracuse found itself on the wrong end on a 60-yard touchdown completion from Tahj Boyd to Adam Humphries. The Tigers struck paydirt two more times in the first quarter as they raced out to a 21-point lead effectively ending the game the Orange could get going. And that is why Clemson is a national championship contender.
