While the Syracuse Orange failed to turn some early momentum into much toward the end of the season, we did still beat the Clemson Tigers, the current No. 1 team in the nation. You can listen to all the excuses about Kelly Bryant bandied about in the months since, but it doesn’t change the fact that we still pulled the upset.
The folks at Athlon acknowledge how big of a win (and how good of a game) it was too, apparently. They ranked SU vs. Clemson No. 2 while ranking the 15 best ACC football games of 2017.
