Clemson Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Syracuse in Week 5

1. The game will (surprisingly) come down to the wire

Withe Trevor Lawrence having his worst showing of the season and the offense relying primarily on Travis Etienne and the run game, the Orange will take advantage with Eric Dungey having a great season and they’ll put pressure on the Tigers until the final minutes.

Clemson will hold the lead for the entire game, but a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter will be erased thanks to Dungey and that offense and Syracuse will make the Tigers sweat out a close victory.

You wouldn’t think that Syracuse paying Clemson a visit in Death Valley would result in a close win for the Tigers, but the Orange have been red-hot this season and Dungey is the kind of guy who could make life difficult for an aggressive defense.

Dungey’s legs will nearly help pull off an upset against the Tigers in Week 5, but Clemson will hold on to avoid a letdown against Syracuse for the second straight season. No one will see this close call coming.
