Clemson Football Scouting Report: An In-Depth Look at Syracuse

What is the general feel from the Syracuse perspective coming into this one after beating Clemson last season? Is there some confidence, excitement?

I’d be lying if I said no. Orange Nation is 4-0 for the first time since 1991, there’s a buzz in the air that’s palpable. Syracuse beat this team last year, but all the stars aligned for it to happen. It was Friday October 13th, all of Syracuse’s stars played lights out, and the defense made it happen.

Just like the South remembers, the North remembers. The last time Syracuse traveled to Death Valley they lost 54-0, Syracuse is coming into this one confident, not arrogant and I think there’s a big distinction.

Clemson is perennially one of the top teams in college football, with a win on Saturday Syracuse would have the biggest win in program history and this team seems ready for the task.
