The mistakes started early for the Syracuse Orange against the Clemson Tigers. And despite all of the self-inflicted wounds in the first half (65 penalty yards, drops, etc.), they were still down just 17-6 at the break and got the ball to start the third quarter.
Syracuse would wind up losing 41-6, in a game that looked a lot more one-sided on the scoreboard than it actually was on the field. But they really only have themselves to blame for that, repeatedly failing to take advantage of the chances put in front of them.
