Syracuse football is preparing for their home opener this week. This contest isn’t any ordinary home game for the Orange. In front of their home crowd, they will go toe-to-toe with the No. 1 team in the nation, the Clemson Tigers.
Syracuse football will play in front of a sellout Dome crowd for the first time since 1998. Just a week ago this game was destined to be the site of College GameDay. It had the makings of a newfound rivalry.
Over the past two contests, both games have been close.
In 2017, Syracuse pulled off the upset with a 27-24 victory in the Dome.
