After weeks of frustration, Clemson looked like Clemson again. A 38–10 rout of North Carolina in Chapel Hill wasn’t just a win — it was a statement. From Cade Klubnik’s command to a suffocating defensive performance, the Tigers checked every box. Here’s how each unit graded out.
Offense: A
Clemson’s offense finally found rhythm — and swagger. Cade Klubnik completed 22 of 24 passes for 254 yards and four touchdowns, spreading the ball to 11 different receivers. The opening-drive trick play — Antonio Williams’ 75-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Moore — set the tone for a dominant first half that saw the Tigers put up 35 points and over 350 total yards before the break.
