CHARLOTTE, NC – The North Carolina Tar Heels have lost their last three games. The common denominator? All of their opponents played backup quarterbacks.
Georgia Tech used a combination of quarterbacks. NC State used fourth-string quarterback Ben Finley. And, Clemson turned to freshman Cade Klubnik after its second unsuccessful possession early Saturday.
Klubnik went 20-for-24 for 279 yards and a touchdown in the 39-10 dismantling of North Carolina in the ACC Championship Game at Bank of America Stadium
The Tar Heels got off to a hot start, but head coach Mack Brown said momentum quickly flipped to Clemson after the quarterback change.
