Mother Nature has entered the picture at Death Valley. With lightning detected within 15 miles of Memorial Stadium, the Clemson–Syracuse game is officially under a lightning advisory.
Per protocol, play will be halted if strikes are detected within eight miles of the stadium. That possibility looms large as the Tigers attempt to rally from a 24–14 deficit against the Orange.
The warning comes at a pivotal juncture, as Syracuse has seized momentum and Clemson desperately needs a spark. A weather stoppage could reset the tempo — or stretch an already uphill climb for Dabo Swinney’s squad.
