The Final Word: Beat writers discuss Syracuse’s loss to No. 3 Clemson

CLEMSON, S.C.— Syracuse upset Clemson in the Carrier Dome last season. The task would be trickier at Memorial Stadium in Death Valley on Saturday. But the Orange held a 23-13 lead at one point in the second half and appeared to have a shot at another upset. A 94-yard drive by Clemson, capped off by a Travis Etienne touchdown with under a minute left, pushed the Tigers ahead for good, though.

Here’s our beat writers, Andrew Graham and Josh Schafer, discussing the game on The Final Word.
