Clemson struggled mightily.
Clemson posted a season worst on Friday in:
– Points allowed
– Yards allowed
– Penalties
– 3rd down conversion pct
– Time of possession— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) October 14, 2017
This is unequivocally the biggest win of the Dino Babers era in Upstate New York. With the win Syracuse improved to 4-3, while Clemson, which will likely fall in next week’s AP top 25 poll, fell to 6-1.
It could be at least partially attributed to Clemson losing its starting quarterback, Kelly Bryant, who suffered a concussion in the second quarter.
