Angeli threw first half TD passes to Ross-Simmons and Darrell Gill Jr . while Will Nixon scored on a 9-yard run as the Orange (3-1, 1-0 ACC) built a 27-14 lead before Angeli left with a non-contact lower leg injury late in the third quarter after rolling out of the pocket.

Rickie Collins added a touchdown pass in relief for Syracuse, which entered the game as a 17 1/2-point road underdog but never trailed. “I’m thankful we got a chance to beat Clemson, a blue blood in college football, but we got a long way to go," Syracuse coach Fran Brown said.
