Syracuse Upsets Clemson as QB Steve Angeli Exits With Non-Contact Leg Injury

Coach Fran Brown indicated Angeli is likely out for the near term, putting Rickie Collins in line to lead the offense.

Overview

  • Angeli went down late in the third quarter on a scramble with no contact, appearing to catch his foot in the turf before leaving on crutches with a boot on his left leg.
  • The Notre Dame transfer had completed 18 of 31 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns and entered the day as the nation’s leading passer.
  • Redshirt sophomore Rickie Collins, an LSU transfer, replaced Angeli and threw an 18-yard touchdown on his first full drive.
  • Syracuse won 34-21 at Memorial Stadium in a game delayed by lightning, dropping Clemson to 1-3 for the worst start of Dabo Swinney’s tenure.
  • Angeli had briefly left earlier with a knee wrap before returning, and no formal diagnosis was announced as postgame evaluations continued.
