Syracuse allowed a touchdown with less than a minute remaining that proved to be the difference on Saturday afternoon.

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.
