The Orange have started the season with four straight wins following a 51-21 rout over the UConn Huskies. Eric Dungey rushed for three touchdowns while throwing for another to lead the Orange to victory. Syracuse outgained UConn 630 yards to 395 yards.

Clemson won its fourth straight on Saturday with a 49-21 win over Georgia Tech. Trevor Lawrence, a freshman, took over the lead role in Clemson’s rotation of quarterbacks after throwing four touchdowns. Lawrence completed 13 of his 18 passes for 176 yards. Although, Georgia Tech led the nation in rushing with a 392 yards per game average, Clemons held the Yellow Jackets to 146 yards on the ground. Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey has thrown for 763 yards, nine touchdowns and one interception. Dungey leads the Orange in rushing with 354 yards and four touchdowns, while Moe Neal is close behind with 346 yards and two touchdowns. The leading receiver for the Orange is Jamal Custis with 287 yards on 17 receptions and three touchdowns.

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence has thrown for 600 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions, while Kelly Bryant has 461 yards passing, two touchdowns and one interception. Travis Etienne leads Clemson in rushing with 391 yards and five touchdowns. The leading receiver is Tee Higgins with 9 receptions for 199 yards and two touchdowns.

Clemson appears to have found its mojo as the Tigers look strong behind freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the defense held the nation’s top rushing attack to 246 yards below its per-game average. Syracuse has won four straight including defeating Florida State, but does not have the offensive punch to keep up with the Tigers and will be facing the toughest defense it will see all season in Clemson. Final Score Prediction, Clemson Tigers win and cover ATS 41-13.
