Syracuse kicks off ACC play right at home on New Year’s Eve, facing a tough Clemson squad in what’s shaping up to be a real test for both teams. The Orange have been locking down on defense and spreading the scoring around—even with star Donnie Freeman sidelined. Clemson’s rolling in with a three-game win streak and a new-look roster, but their defense is no joke either. With both teams boasting top-25 defensive stats, this matchup could come down to who makes the big plays late. Who’s your pick to start 2025 with a statement win? #Sports #Syracuse #Clemson
