Earlier this week Syracuse head coach Dino Babers compared Saturday’s trip to Death Valley against No. 2 Clemson as a David vs. Goliath type matchup, saying “give us a slingshot and a rock.”
Syracuse might have brought the sling shot, but no one loaded the rock as the Tigers hammered the Orange 54-0. Of course it helped that the Clemson offense had perhaps its best game of the season totaling 567 yards, which included 370 passing yards from both Deshaun Watson and Nick Schuessler.
Watson completed 13 of 16 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns, while Schuessler came off the bench and hit 11 of 17 passes for 177 yards and two more scores.
