Syracuse Football Makes Unique History in Difficult Loss to Clemson.

The Orange need wins in two of their final three games in order get bowl-eligible, and they cannot finish above . Our own Brady Farkas offered his takeaways from the home defeat on Saturday, but one of his key points revolved around the general success of the SU defense.

While Syracuse gave up 18 points, the defense did not allow any touchdowns, instead giving up only four field goals. The only touchdown that Clemson scored scored came on a defensive play in the second half, but that was not without controversy.

Orange quarterback Steve Angeli dropped back to pass and was hit by a Clemson defender. Angeli's arm seemed to be going forward with a pass which would have ruled the play dead and an incomplete pass.

However, on the field, the officials let the play continue and Clemson took advantage with the scoring play. Multiple replays by the ACC did not have enough visual evidence to overturn the call.
