Syracuse football to play Clemson at 7 p.m. on Oct. 25

Syracuse (2-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) is scheduled to play No. 24 Clemson (4-1, 3-2) at 7 p.m. on Oct. 25 in Clemson, South Carolina, the ACC announced Monday. The conference also announced the game will be aired on ESPNU.

The Orange and the Tigers last met in the Carrier Dome on Oct. 15, 2013. Tajh Boyd threw for 455 yards and 5 touchdowns — including one to Sammy Watkins — to cruise past the Orange and lead Clemson to a 49-14 victory.

Clemson takes on Boston College on the road this Saturday riding a three-game winning streak after starting the year 1-2 with losses to Georgia and Florida State — both of which still rank in the Top 10.

The Tigers are now without quarterback DeShaun Watson, who’s expected to miss the next four weeks with a hand injury he suffered in Clemson’s win over Louisville. Watson has thrown for 1,176 passing yards and 12 touchdowns compared to just two interceptions.

This week, Syracuse travels to Winston-Salem, North Carolina to play Wake Forest (2-4, 0-2) at noon on Saturday. The Demon Deacons are coming off a bye and lost to the Seminoles, 43-3, the week before that.
