Penn State is expected to host approximately 100 prospects for Saturday’s sold-out game. Some of the notable names among the group include 2014 tight end Mike Gesicki, linebacker Jason Cabinda, defensive lineman Thomas Holley, as well as 2015 four-star linebacker Justin Hilliard, five-star cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick and twin recruiting targets Andrew and David Dowell.
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.
The not-so-funny aspect about Shafer’s initial reaction to Clemson’s strategy is that Swinney was well within his rights to try and take a 42-7 lead into the locker room even with 30 minutes left to play. Stranger occurrences have happened in college football comebacks and if nothing else, the sooner an insurmountable lead was intact with less game clock, the sooner Swinney could start liberally substituting in his second-stringers as he eyes bigger games down the road.
