No. 20 Clemson 16, Syracuse 6: Ammon Lakip kicked three field goals and Cole Stoudt threw a fourth-quarter touchdown pass as the host Tigers overcame four turnovers to defeat the Orange.

Stoudt, who threw a pair of interceptions and lost a fumble, finished 24-of-35 for 209 yards. Wayne Gallman gave Clemson (6-2, 5-1 ACC) a boost with 101 rushing yards as the Tigers won their fifth straight game.

AJ Long was 12-of-27 for 82 yards with a pair of interceptions for Syracuse (3-5, 1-3), which continued to play without starting quarterback Terrel Pryor (leg fracture). The teams combined for seven turnovers and went 9-of-33 on third-down conversions.

Clemson took its first lead with 3:30 left in the third quarter as Lakip drilled a 41-yard field goal and, after a Syracuse punt, Stoudt hooked up with Stanton Seckinger for a 19-yard score to make it 16-6. The Orange's next two possessions ended in a punt and a missed 42-yard field goal before the Tigers ran out the clock.

The game's first five possessions ended in punts before a deep throw by Stoudt was intercepted by Brandon Reddish, leading to a 13-play drive that Cole Murphy capped with a 43-yard field goal. Lakip's 38-yard field goal drew Clemson even with about 4 1/2 minutes to go in the second quarter, but Syracuse answered on Murphy's 50-yard field goal on the final play of the first half, shortly after a Stoudt fumble gave the Orange possession deep in Tigers' territory.
