Day-of Musings + Score Prediction: No. 5 Clemson vs. No. 14 ... (247Sports)

We'll see today if Syracuse is without one, two, or both starting corners today. Garrett Williams and Duce Chestnut both left last week's game with injury.

It's my opinion that Syracuse has the personnel and scheme to give Clemson issues in certain areas, especially if Clemson's defense allows a repeat of last week. But the pieces are in place, especially with the Tigers getting closer to full-strength. 19 (wide receiver Oronde Gadsden) are and how Syracuse wants to get them the ball in what Syracuse views as favorable one-on-one matchups. However, if you're a Clemson player, the comments spoken this week certainly can grab your attention a little bit. *** Chestnut said this week he thinks Syracuse is a top-five defense in the country. But feed a hot Will Shipley early and often and see if Clemson can't move the ball on the ground. [here](https://247sports.com/college/clemson/Article/Musings-Important-targets-headed-to-Clemson-this-weekend-195843494/). Syracuse has beat its chest a little bit this week in media situations. And Clemson's linebackers and safeties are better than what they showed last week. Bottom line, connect downfield when the opportunities are present but don't force it either because Syracuse will try and bait you into bad decisions by mixing and disguising. Still, and despite the challenges of catching all the movement, let's see if Clemson's offensive line can bully Syracuse's undersized front. The Orange rank allow 95 rushing yards per game and 3.2 per carry.

Beyond the historic victory for Clemson came a tough moment for coach Dabo Swinney, who chose to bench starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei for true freshman Cade ...

The Demon Daecons, which also currently have just one loss and are ranked in the top 15 of the AP Top 25, will be a potential candidate to make a New Year's Six game if Clemson makes the CFP. 19 and maintain their one-loss status against a slate of Notre Dame, Pitt, Florida State and Boston College, then they will have a shot at their biggest bowl game since the 1999 Orange Bowl. The best Clemson teams in the Swinney era have had high-level quarterback play, but they've also been complemented by defensive lines capable of taking over late in games. Running back Will Shipley's 50-yard breakaway score was a turning point in the game and a part of a tremendous offensive performance as Clemons's star carried 27 times for 172 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter. While the Fighting Irish are not the top-five team that many projected coming into the season, they do have a formidable defense that will likely take notes from Syracuse's game plan to try to have similar success against Uiagalelei. Either way, the time off will allow all of the potential quarterback controversy talk to simmer and Uiagalelei to hit reset after his worst performance of the year. That's not to say that Syracuse coach Dino Babers and offensive coordinator Robert Anae did not have success in the game. The Tigers don't have to turn around and send Uiagalelei right back into action with Klubnik now prepped and somewhat proven in competitive minutes. Clemson is off next week and won't be back in action until a trip to play Notre Dame in South Bend on Nov. 14 Syracuse in a 27-21 comeback that was more than just an addition to the win column for the Tigers. The victory marked Clemson's 38th straight victory in Death Valley, breaking the record for the longest home winning streak in ACC history previously held by Bobby Bowden's Florida State program in a run from 1995-2001. After another interception from Uiagalelei, Clemson has put true freshman Cade Klubnik in the game.

Freshman backup quarterback Cade Klubnik came off the sidelines and sparked Clemson football to comeback victory against Syracuse.

Instead of going with mostly Will Shipley on a series and then mostly Phil Mafah on another, they subbed for each other on the same possession. Clemson used a different approach with its running backs in the first half. On the two-point conversion to make it a 24-21 lead, Klubnik escaped a sack and found Joseph Ngata in the back of the end zone. The Tigers turned it over on two of their first three possessions of the second half as well. Will Shipley fumbled on the first play after Clemson got the ball at the Orange 41. Klubnik led an 80-yard drive and the Tigers scored in two plays on the next series, Will Shipley running 50 yards for the TD.
