Clemson improved to 8-0 (6-0 ACC) Saturday as Dabo Swinney’s team walked away from Death Valley with a 27-21 comeback win over Dino Babers and Syracuse.
It was a challenging game for Swinney and the Tigers as the the team struggled in the first half before getting things together in the second. Starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei had his worst performance of the season yet, leading to true freshman quarterback Cade Klubnik taking over in the third quarter to help lead the Tigers to a comeback victory.
It wasn’t the best performance from either Clemson’s defense or offense but the team remained resilient as they put together a game defining second half.
The Tigers remain top dogs in the ACC after Week 8 maintaining their undefeated record. Game after game, we learn a little more about this No.5 Clemson team, with their dominant win over No.14 Syracuse being no different.
Here are five takeaways I believe to be some of the most important from Clemson’s Week 7 win over Syracuse.
