In the wake of another hard-fought victory, the primary concern wasn't the final score, but the final play for quarterback Cade Klubnik, who was seen limping after a late-game scramble.
During his weekly Sunday evening teleconference, head coach Dabo Swinney addressed the issue head-on, confirming the team's biggest question mark moving forward.
"And, uh, you know, health-wise, uh, biggest thing was Cade, as y'all know, spraining his ankle, so…" Swinney stated, confirming the fears of many who watched the QB's gritty performance.
The news casts a shadow over preparations for next week's crucial matchup. While Swinney expressed a degree of optimism, he made it clear that his star quarterback's practice participation will be carefully managed in the coming days.
