Klubnik Responds to Kelly’s Latest Shot at Clemson

LSU head coach Brian Kelly has been very outspoken leading up to his team’s season opener on the road at Clemson.

Kelly’s latest shot at Clemson came on Wednesday when he spoke to the Baton Rouge Rotary Club and called Clemson’s Memorial Stadium “Death Valley Junior.”

“You want great habits [championship traits] when they’re needed, when you’re on the road [at Clemson] and you’re playing in Death Valley Junior – not the Death Valley,” he said, via WBRZ in Baton Rouge.

At the 2025 ACC Football Kickoff in Charlotte, The Clemson Insider asked Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik about Kelly’s latest jab at Clemson and if that gets Klubnik a little fired up.
