Dino Babers admitted that during his team’s 41-6 loss to Clemson, there were some exciting parts of Saturday’s game. And through three quarters, his team played well. There were too many parts of the game that weren’t so exciting for Syracuse (1-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast), however, that took the Orange out of the contest.
Following a loss to the Tigers for the second straight year, Babers’ message to his team is the same as 2018’s defeat.
“It happened last year,” Babers said on Monday. “Clemson can beat you once, but don’t let Clemson beat you twice.”
The fourth-year head coach was describing the Orange’s overtime loss to unranked Pittsburgh last season, in the game immediately following their 27-23 loss to the Tigers.
