The optimism of Tuesday has devolved into the high-stakes uncertainty of Thursday.
Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik is officially listed as QUESTIONABLE for Saturday's critical matchup against SMU, a designation that confirms a week of escalating concern surrounding the sprained ankle he suffered in last week's win over Boston College.
What began with coach Dabo Swinney suggesting his star was merely 'sore' has now become a minute-by-minute evaluation, leaving the Tigers' offense in limbo. The situation grew more tenuous with an external report from On3 suggesting "growing concern" that Klubnik will be able to play, labeling him a likely game-time decision.
