Watson leads No. 3 Clemson to blowout of ‘Cuse before injury
CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was ready to see his third-ranked Tigers build momentum for the final regular-season push. He couldn’t be happier with their performance against Syracuse.
The Tigers (6-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) improved to 9-0 for a second straight season, rolling over the Orange for a 54-0 shutout Saturday. Not even seeing Heisman Trophy contending quarterback Deshaun Watson leave the game with an injury in the first half could spoil Swinney’s satisfaction over this one.
