Clemson Football: 5 storylines to watch vs. Syracuse 2019

The Clemson football team will travel up to Syracuse this weekend. Here are five storylines to watch in the Tigers’ match up with the Orange.

The Clemson football team improved to 2-0 on the season with a win against the Texas A&M Aggies at home Saturday.

The Tigers were on ‘upset alert,’ according to many national analysts, but those predictions certainly didn’t play out. Clemson took control of the game in the second quarter and never looked back, coming away with a 24-10 victory that really wasn’t all that close.

Clemson was the more physical team, the Tigers controlled the lines of scrimmage and they proved to be the deeper team. Once the Clemson football team got out to a 24-3 lead in the third quarter, the Tigers went with conservative play-calling for the remainder of the afternoon.

On the other end of the spectrum, Syracuse enters this game with a 1-1 record after an embarrassing loss to Maryland. The Orange lost the game 63-20 and weren’t able to slow down the Terps’ offense all day on the road. Now, they’ll return home looking for revenge.

The Clemson football team rallied for a victory last season against Syracuse, led by Chase Brice who came in for an injured Trevor Lawrence.

As we head into this year’s matchup between Clemson and Syracuse, here are five storylines to watch.
