In honor of Clemson week, we take a look at some of the best performances Syracuse football has put up against the Tigers in recent years.

Most people liken Dino Babers as the coach who figured out Dabo Swinney and Clemson in one way or another. But before Babers was Scott Shafer, a Syracuse football coach with a not so good track record except for against one team in particular – the Clemson Tigers.

Shafer was a defensive specialist but only lasted a few years on the Hill, winning just 14 games in three years.
