CLEMSON – Three things seem to be consistent in life – death, taxes, and Clemson not playing up to its standard against an outmanned Syracuse team.
The top-ranked Tigers suffered a pick-six, a missed field goal, a blocked punt, a blown coverage, and myriad mistakes against Syracuse but still came away with a 47-21 victory on a hot day in Death Valley.
The Tigers improve to 6-0 overall and 5-0 in the ACC, while Syracuse falls to 1-5 overall and 1-4 in the ACC.
Trevor Lawrence was 27-of-43 for 289 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
