CLEMSON, South Carolina (AP) – Trevor Lawrence has had many games closed against Syracuse and also saw the time of the top-ranked Tigers.
That happened Saturday when No. 1 Clemson used an expired dressing to get a 47-21 win after Syracuse tied 27-21.
“Every year they play us very well,” Lawrence said, “and they have a lot at stake. “
What Syracuse doesn’t have are game creators like Lawrence and runner Travis Etienne. Lawrence pitched two landing passes and Etienne scored three, two in the last quarter, when Clemson won his 27th consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference game since falling to Orange 27-24 in 2017.
Syracuse (1-5, 1-4), a 45-point loser, recovered 17-0 to tie an expired landing in the third quarter before Clemson regained his balance.
“There are many groups that would have lost this game with the mistakes we made,” said Clemson coach Dabo Swinney. “I’m proud of our boys for winning the game.
“We’re 6-0 because we’ve played a lot so far,” he continued.
In the sixth consecutive season, the Tigers (5-0 ACC) opened with six victories, however, it took a flurry of the past to do so, just like the same old thing against Siracusa.
A season after Syracuse’s wonderful victory in 2017, the Oranges seemed to be in a wonderful position as they had a 10-point lead in the last quarter before Clemson escaped 27-23 to keep their national championship season intact.
Syracuse and coach Dino Babers kept the Tigers out of sync during the game.
“I don’t know what orange is like compared to orange, ” said Babers.
Syracuse Orange, however, was unable to complete this.
The recovery and landing of Andrew Booth Jr. after Rex Culpepper fired behind in the third quarter turned the game in Clemson’s favor forever.
The Tigers temporarily took a 17-0 lead when there were less than 11 minutes left in the game, and that’s when things eluded the five-time CCA protective champion.
Syracuse rookie Drew Tuazama blocked a clearing and four plays later, Sean Tucker scored in a 7-yard run. Then, just before halftime, orange corner Garrett Williams stuck a pass in Amari Rodgers’ hands and took him 39 yards for a selection of six.
Lawrence had played 12 games with an interception before the end of last week’s streak against Georgia Tech.
Syracuse turned it into a one-point game when Nykeim Johnson put in an 83-yard Pass from Culpepper to tie with less than six problems, knocking out the crowd with about 19,000 problems before Booth’s defensive score led the Tigers to victory.
“We’re still disappointed we didn’t finish the game because we had a chance to beat them,” Williams said. “In fact, he gave us another jolt to others. “
Clemson’s offensive coordinator, Tony Elliott, said the Tigers weren’t as willing as they were in last week’s Georgia Tech defeat, but they still figured out a way to win the game, anything they’re satisfied with in the long run as they faced the toughest game of the season in November and December.
Clemson is scheduled to head to No. 3 Notre Dame, Florida State and No. 19 Virginia Tech in its 4 games after October.
“We are allowed to roll the ball there and win, ” said Elliott. “No one’s going to come by to get to bed for us. “
FATE
Syracuse: How to explain orange? It didn’t seem imaginable that Syracuse could scare the Tigers, yet he had a late chance. The Babers will have to channel this effort for the rest of the season if the Oranges wait to leave ACC’S BASEMENT.
Clemson: Looks like the Tigers have one of those exhibits every year. A season ago, they needed an overdue save to endure a return to North Carolina with a 21-20 victory. For the past two years he had been fighting Syracuse. Clemson also discovers his fireplace and his path to the name ACC and college football playoff.
BREAKFAST CHAMPIONS
There were some problems in Death Valley when Etienne headed to the locker room in the third quarter. Turns out I needed a better start. Etienne said he had been given an intravenous line to treat muscle cramps, and partly blamed him for not eating an Etienne said he had an undeniable bowl of cereal that wasn’t big enough to feed him a lunch set. He said he’ll make sure he’s fortified next week with eggs and sausages when the Tigers face Boston College. early next Saturday.
LOST TICKETS
Clemson ran out of 3 defensive starters with linebacker James Skalski, will face Tyler Davis and cornerback Derion Kendrick. Skalski and Davis were classified as unavailable before the game due to injuries. Kendrick was dressed on the bench and never had a groin problem, Swinney said. he was left without a number one receiver, Taj Harris, left at home like a field for employing an obscene gesture on camera a home loss to Liberty last week.
