One Clemson offensive lineman played his worst game, and Syracuse used the run-blitz to stifle the Tigers’ running game, but head coach Dabo Swinney is still pleased with the play of his offensive line Saturday.
Clemson defeated Syracuse 31-14 in JMA Dome to pick up its conference win of the season. Clemson (3-2, 1-2) hosts Wake Forest (3-1, 0-1) Saturday at 3:30 pm. An open date follows the Wake game, and then a trip to Miami.
Swinney opened his Sunday night teleconference by saying that he was happy with the way his team responded after a tough overtime loss to Florida State by going on the road and beating a Syracuse team that was undefeated and ranked in the Top 10 in several offensive and defensive categories.
