Cade Klubnik didn’t just manage the offense—he commanded it. Completing 22 of 24 passes for 254 yards and four touchdowns, the Clemson quarterback looked every bit the player fans have been waiting for. His accuracy, confidence, and pocket command fueled an avalanche of early scores as Clemson stormed out to a 28–3 first-quarter lead.
Wideout Adam Randall’s two-touchdown day and tight end Christian Bentancur’s pair of scores provided balance and versatility. Antonio Williams even opened the afternoon by tossing a 75-yard touchdown to T.J. Moore on a trick play, a reminder that Garrett Riley’s offense still has creativity to burn.
