For about three quarters, I really thought this was the one. The one where the Syracuse Orange completely shatter the narrative about their past failures, untimely penalties and many, many close losses.
I guess some things just aren’t meant to be.
SU went into halftime with a 21-10 lead but then shut down offensively after that, and Clemson rallied for 17 unanswered points in the 4th quarter.
Was it still impressive how the Orange came out and started hot against a National Powerhouse of a program? Absolutely. But in a way, it stings even more that ‘Cuse came up just short again.
