Cade Klubnik shook off a brutal first half — including a pick-six — to finish 18-of-24 for 196 yards and two touchdowns. He was accurate (75% completions) and efficient down the stretch, connecting with Bryant Wesco on two huge scores. But the early mistakes left Clemson in a 16-0 hole, dropping his overall mark.
