The offense kept making mistakes and the defense gave up two long Syracuse touchdown drives. 24 - ZACH RICE, North Carolina Rice has seen action in two games for midway through his freshman season and that should only increase because the 6-foot-5, 320-pound prospect is very talented. But things changed in the second half. Clemson shut out the Orange in the final two quarters and stormed back to win 27-21. His time will come because the five-star prospect has length, ranginess and is the exact type of cornerback coach Kirby Smart loves.

Liberty Christian Academy standout picked the Tar Heels over Alabama,. It was a bumpy route for Clemson to get to 8-0 but the Tigers scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to turn that 21-10 deficit into a 24-21 advantage. That was more than enough for the Clemson defense to seal the door shut. Clemson’s defense kept Syracuse off the scoreboard in the second half, allowing the Tigers to escape with a victory despite a mistake-filled effort from the offense. Clemson actually started the game well. The defense forced a Syracuse turnover on downs and then the offense marched right down the field to take a 7-0 lead. But on the next two Clemson possessions, quarterback DJ Uiagalelei threw an interception and then fumbled. The fumble came inside the Syracuse 10-yard line and was returned 90 yards for a touchdown, giving the Orange a 14-7 lead. On the ensuing possession, Clemson thought it could run the ball right through the heart of the Syracuse defense. Instead, the Tigers were stuffed on a fourth-and-short run at the Orange’s 33-yard line. Syracuse then responded with a 68-yard touchdown drive to increase the lead to 21-7. Clemson would get a field goal before halftime to make it 21-10, but the Tigers appeared to be in serious trouble. And to open the third quarter, Clemson’s sloppiness continued. Clemson’s first three possessions of the third quarter went like this: punt, fumble, interception. However, Syracuse failed to capitalize on any of those miscues by quickly punting the ball back to Clemson all three times. At that point, with the deficit still 21-10 late in the third, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney decided to make a change. He swapped out Uiagalelei for freshman Cade Klubnik and Klubnik was able to engineer a long touchdown drive. The drive, though, was greatly aided by two 15-yard penalties on the Syracuse defense, including a late hit on a third-and-25 when Clemson would have been forced to punt. Instead, that penalty kept the drive alive and Clemson eventually scored on a fourth-and-goal run by Phil Mafah, making it 21-16 with 13:46 to play. After that long, 15-play drive, Syracuse’s offense needed to make something happen to give its exhausted defense a rest, but just could not generate any success. The Orange quickly went three-and-out on a drive that saw a potential late hit out of bounds on Syracuse quarterback Garrett Shrader go uncalled. Two plays after the punt, Clemson’s Will Shipley put the Tigers ahead for good when he reeled off a 50-yard touchdown run. Will Shipley TURNS ON THE JETS and Clemson has the lead 🐯 .
