The Syracuse Orange (3-4) will have a tough task on their hands on Saturday night when they face the #21 Clemson Tigers (5-2), who are currently second in the ACC. Clemson easily beat Syracuse 49-14 on the road last season.

Syracuse was able to snap its four-game losing streak over the weekend when they beat Wake Forest 30-7 on the road. They held the Demon Deacons to just 170 total yards while their offense was able to put up 199 yards on the ground alone.

The Orange have scored just 22.6 points per game this season and they are giving up 23.9 points per game. Quarterback Terrel Hunt has thrown for 983 yards this year with one touchdown and four interceptions, and he has 307 rushing yards with six more scores. Wide receiver Jarrod West leads the team with 29 catches and 421 yards, but he still hasn't scored a touchdown this season.

Last Saturday, Clemson was able to extend their winning streak to four games when they beat Boston College 17-13 on the road. They didn't commit a turnover in that win and they finished with 398 offensive yards.

Through seven games, Clemson is thrown for 303 yards per game and they have scored 34.6 points per game against their opponents. Freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson has completed 67 percent of his passes for 1,176 yards with 12 touchdowns and just two picks. Watson's top receiver has been Mike Williams, who has 30 catches for 671 yards and four touchdowns.
