Syracuse also plans to retire the No. 72 jersey of all-time sack leader Tim Green during halftime of the Clemson game. Green, who is also an attorney and author, announced last November that he’s been diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The Clemson contest will mark the Orange’s second ABC “Saturday Night Football” appearance since the network began devoting its primetime slot to college football in 2006, per Syracuse’s news release. The first time Syracuse appeared in the timeslot was on Sept. 27, 2014 when it faced No. 8 Notre Dame at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
In the last two years, Syracuse is the only team to defeat Clemson during the regular season, per the news release. The last time Clemson came to the Dome, the Orange beat the Tigers 27-24 on Oct. 13, 2017. Since that night, Clemson has won 17 straight regular-season games.
