For much of the first half inside Bobby Dodd Stadium, it looked like Clemson was sleepwalking toward disaster. Georgia Tech dictated tempo, forced an early turnover, and silenced the Tigers’ offense while building a 13-0 cushion.

But with less than a minute before the break, Cade Klubnik finally broke through, punching in a one-yard touchdown run to cap a 16-play, 75-yard drive that cut the deficit to 13-7 at halftime.
