Syracuse-Clemson Football (Sep 20 2025)
To answer syracusefan44 from the Colgate thread about Syracuse's chances...
I think a win is unlikely. The thing I keep coming back to is that SU was 7-2 last season in one-score games with an elite offense. The offense is not as good as last year's unit (I still have questions about Angeli and the line has not been particularly impressive).
The defense is not as good as last year's, either, lacking playmakers - three sacks, two interceptions, two fumbles in three game with two sacks, both picks, and a fumble coming against Colgate. Offense needs a little help, the defense can't really provide it.
I think Clemson's overall talent will help them win, but SU keeps it within a couple scores.
Also, if you are going to the game this weekend, here is a guide for some places to hit up from a Clemson-ite.
