Cornerback Ashton Hampton intercepted Angeli in the end zone to stop Syracuse's best second-half chance. After Syracuse cut it to 18-13 with 3:12 left, freshman Tait Reynolds ran for two first downs to close it out. Dabo Swinney said of the last one, "that was Tait making the right decision."

  • Angeli: 18-of-40 for 263 yards, two turnovers
  • Swinney: 118th ACC regular-season win, winningest coach in ACC history
  • Last win without an offensive touchdown: 2023, South Carolina

Kicker made four field goals, from 32, 36, 37 and 54 yards. The 54-yarder tied Clemson's single-season record for field goals.
