2. It’ll be a tight game but Clemson’s defense makes final stop

Syracuse may be the favorite to win this game, but I believe that Clemson’s defense will have the last day. Clemson could most likely win this game by three or four points.

Linebacker Wade Woodaz would lead the defense in stopping Syracuse’s running game in the second half and we might see them blitzing Garrett Shrader in the last three minutes of the game.

Don’t get me wrong, I feel Shrader will have a good game, but he’s going to get in trouble down the stretch.
