GAME OVERVIEW• Coming off of its bye week, the Syracuse football team heads to the Sunshine State for its second straight game when it travels to Florida State on Saturday, Nov. 4. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:20 p.m. at Doak Campbell Stadium. The game will air on the ACC Network. Syracuse alum Tom Werme (play-by-play), Dave Archer (analyst) and D.J. Shockley (sideline) are on the call.• In their last ou ng, the Orange came up short in their upset bid at Miami, 27-19. Senior placekicker Cole Murphy converted four fi eld goals, tying his career high. He connected from 22, 40, 45 and 53 yards out to improve to 16-for-18 (.889) on the year. Junior running back Dontae Strickland (105 yards) and junior quarterback Eric Dungey (100 yards) led an Orange ground a ack that totaled 264 yards on 51 carries (5.2 avg.). It marked the fi rst me since the 2014 Maryland game two Syracuse players ran for 100 yards in the same game.• Florida State enters the matchup at 2-5 overall and 2-4 in the ACC. Last weekend, the Seminoles lost for the third me in four ou ngs, 35-3 at Boston College. Florida State managed just 213 yards and 10 fi rst downs in the setback.

TOP STORYLINES• Syracuse enters Saturday’s game with an opportunity to become the fi rst team since North Carolina in 2010 to defeat perennial ACC powers Clemson and Florida State in the same season. The Orange have already banked a victory over the Tigers, knocking off Clemson 27-24 at the Carrier Dome on Oct. 13. When the Tar Heels turned the trick seven years ago, they topped the Tigers 21-16 and beat the Seminoles 37-35. Of note, 2010 was the fi rst year of Jimbo Fisher’s tenure at Florida State, while Dabo Swinney was in his second full season at the Clemson helm.• A pair of Orange career records could fall Saturday. Senior wide receiver Ervin Philips has 195 catches and needs seven more recep ons to surpass Alec Lemon's mark of 201. With 55 career fi eld goals, senior kicker Cole Murphy is three away from eclipsing John Biskup's record of 57. • Junior quarterback Eric Dungey ranks sixth na onally in comple ons per game (25.1) and seventh in total off ense (337.9). Dungey is Syracuse's leading rusher with 486 yards. Since 1980, only one Orange quarterback has fi nished a season as the team's top ground-gainer. That was Don McPherson in 1985 (489 yards) and 1986 (523 yards).• Senior wide receivers Steve Ishmael and Ervin Philips are the top ac ve FBS receiving duo. The pair have combined for 375 career recep ons, more than any other ac ve tandem. Ishmael currently ranks second in the country in recep ons per game (8.3) and third in recep ons (66). Philips is ed for sixth (7.6) and ed for fi h (61) na onally in those respec ve categories.• Senior linebacker Parris Benne has recorded 10+ tackles in four of the past fi ve games. He ranks fourth in the ACC in tackles per contest (9.4). • Syracuse has held its opposi on to 24.6 points per ou ng this season, an improvement of 14 points per game over last year (38.6). It's currently the fi h-best improvement in scoring defense na onally. The Orange are on pace for the best one-year, scoring-defense turnaround in team history. The largest improvement came from 1986 to 1987. The ’87 Orange allowed 13.9 points per game, 10.3 fewer than the previous season.

REVERSING A TREND• Syracuse has not won a road game yet this season (0-3) and Florida State has not successfully defended its home turf (0-3). One of those trends will be reversed Saturday.• The Orange's three road losses have been by an average of 8.3 points a game and have come against teams ranked in this week's AP Top 25 (No. 9 Miami, No. 19 LSU, No. 20 NC State).• Miami, LSU and NC State boast a combined record of 19-4.

A WIN WOULD• Make Syracuse the fi rst team since North Carolina in 2010 to defeat Clemson and Florida State in the same season. • Push Syracuse to within one win of becoming bowl eligible for the fi rst me since 2013. The Orange defeated Minnesota 21-17 in the Texas Bowl in their last bowl appearance.• Break Florida State's nine-game winning streak in the series. The last Orange victory over the Seminoles was a 37-21 triumph in 1966.• Snap the team’s current fi ve-game road losing streak. Syracuse’s last victory away from the Carrier Dome was a 28-20 win at Boston College on Oct. 22, 2016.• Hand Florida State its third straight loss, which would be the longest losing streak for the Seminoles since the 2011 season.• Give Syracuse it's third conference victory, the highest total since the Orange won four ACC games in 2013, its inaugural season in the league.• Mark Dino Babers’ 46th victory in his six seasons as a head coach. Heading into Saturday’s contest, Babers owns a 45-28 overall record and an 8-12 mark at the helm of the Syracuse football program.• Give Syracuse its 721st win in program history (includes 11 victories from 2004-06 that were vacated by the NCAA). The Orange currently rank 20th on the FBS ledger of winningest programs. Syracuse is one of 24 schools na onally to have accumulated at least 700 wins.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL STILL BUZZING ABOUT 'CUSE CLEMSON• Syracuse's 27-24 triumph over then-No. 2 Clemson put the Orange back on the na onal map and signaled to the rest of college football the Orange are a team to be reckoned with. Consider:• Syracuse scored 14 fi rst-quarter points against the Tigers. Prior to the game, the Clemson defense had not allowed more than seven points in the fi rst three quarters of any game in 2017.• The triumph ended Clemson's 20-game winning streak against ACC Atlan c foes. Previously, the Tigers' most recent division loss was to Florida State on Sept. 20, 2014. • The win also snapped Syracuse's 17-game losing streak against AP top-10 opponents. Before that game, 'Cuse last beat a top-10 team in 2002 when it toppled No. 8 Virginia Tech 50-42 in triple over me. The Orange's last win over a top-fi ve team was the year prior (2001) when it again beat the Hokies. The 2001 campaign was the senior season for Syracuse legend Dwight Freeney.• Syracuse held the Tigers to 113 yards rushing, 124.3 yards below its season average of 237.3 entering the game. It also limited Clemson to 317 yards of off ense, 154 yards below its season average of 471 per game.• Conversely, Syracuse generated 440 yards of total off ense, the most allowed by the Tigers in 2017.

ABOUT FLORIDA STATE• Florida State is in its eighth season under head coach Jimbo Fisher. In his eight years at the helm of the Seminoles, Fisher touts an 80-22 overall record and guided his team to 34-31 victory against Auburn in the 2014 Vizio BCS Na onal Championship Game.• Florida State has the ability to infl uence a game with its special teams. The Seminoles have blocked two punts on the year, which ranks fi rst in the conference and fourth na onally. FSU also ranks second in the ACC and seventh in the country with a 26.6 kickoff return average.• The Seminoles possess one of the top passing defenses in the conference, allowing just 189.1 yards through the air per game. The total ranks fourth in the ACC and 26th na onally. • Turnovers have severely hampered Florida State's chances for success. The Seminoles have a -10 turnover margin through its fi rst seven games. The Seminoles have turned the ball over 15 mes thus far (9 intercep ons, 6 fumbles lost) and have taken the ball away from opponents just fi ve mes (3 intercep ons, 2 fumbles recovered). FSU's -1.4 turnover margin per game ranks last in the ACC and 126th na onally. • Freshman quarterback James Blackman has replaced injured starter Deondre Francois, who was lost for the year in Florida State's opener against Alabama. Blackman is 95-of-162 passing for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns.• Junior defensive end Josh Sweat ranks fi h in the ACC and 28th na onally with 1.4 tackles for loss per game. Twenty-six percent of Sweat's tackles on the year have been behind the line of scrimmage. He leads the Seminoles with 3.5 sacks.. • Sophomore kicker Ricky Aguayo ranks second in the ACC and 15th na onally at 1.7 fi eld goals per game. His 80 percent conversion rate also ranks fi h in the conference.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Orange (4-3, 2-1 ACC) never trailed and stunned No. 2 Clemson (6-1, 4-1 ACC) by the score of 27-24 at the Carrier Dome. It was Syracuse’s first win over against a top-five opponent since 2001, and the Tigers represented the highest-ranked Syracuse victim since the Orange took down No. 1 Nebraska in 1984. Quarterback Eric Dungey threw three touchdowns and kicker Cole Murphy hit a pair of field goals, including the go-ahead score with 9:41 to play. The Orange defense held the Tigers to 113 yards rushing, well below their season average of 237.3, and recorded a season-high four sacks. The loss ended Clemson’s 11-game winning streak.
