SYRACUSE, NY – There was a moment, in the rush of a postgame celebration, in which I was reminded that how the coaches and players feel after a game like the one we saw Friday night is far different than how the fans and media feel.
I watched the game from the sidelines, taking yet another opportunity to shoot photos and let Nikki have a press box seat during this COVID squeeze. I don’t necessarily like the view from the sidelines, but it provides a unique perspective.
As Syracuse kicker Andre Szmyt’s field goal went wide left, Clemson defensive graduate assistant coach Jacob Maloney (I think) hobbled out onto the field, one of his feet in a cumbersome walking boot, and he met the defense coming off the field.
