How to Watch, Listen and Storylines: Clemson vs. Syracuse
Saturday will represent just the ninth meeting between Clemson and Syracuse all-time and only the eighth in regular-season play.
The Orange won the first meeting at the 1996 Gator Bowl in Jacksonville following the 1995 season by a 41-0 score. Clemson was ranked 23rd entering the game and was coming off a five-game winning streak to close the season.
Syracuse was unranked going into the game, but jumped to 17th in the final USA Today poll with the win quarterbacked by Donovan McNabb. Clemson has won six of seven meetings since Syracuse joined the ACC in 2013.
The Tigers had won four in a row by at least double digits before Syracuse ended the streak with a 27-24 Friday night win over the Tigers at Syracuse in 2017. Saturday's game will be the ninth consecutive game against Syracuse — every game in the series — in which Clemson has been ranked in the top 25.
