Syracuse Football: 5 things you need to know about the Clemson Tigers
5. Two-part question here, are the Clemson Tigers vulnerable in your mind? Share your prediction of how this game will play out on Saturday night?
"Anybody can get beaten on any given Saturday. Clemson is vulnerable from the perspective that if they show up and don’t play well, they can be beat. The Tigers haven’t shown any signs so far of slowing down from last season. Clemson typically always plays conservative and gets out to a slow start in September. Dabo Swinney has instilled it in his program to get better as the season progresses rather than come out firing on all cylinders. That being said, the team still has to come out focused and ready to play. I don’t think they’ll have any trouble doing that against Syracuse. The Orange beat Clemson up in the Carrier Dome two years ago and then had a great chance at victory last season in Death Valley. The Tigers are going to be focused and they’re going to show up likely wanting to prove something. I think Clemson wins this game, but I think the Orange put up a fight. Syracuse is going to be upset after the embarrassing loss from a week ago and I think the Orange put forth their best effort Saturday evening, especially with the game being at night and Homecoming."
"Clemson just has too much talent and depth in the end, though, and the Tigers come out with a 42-24 victory."
