Clemson football found itself down early against Wake Forest on Saturday, but the Tigers wasted no time in turning the tide with back-to-back scoring drives.
Quarterback Cade Klubnik hit Antonio Williams on a 22-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 7-7 just into the second quarter. Clemson’s eight-play, 75-yard drive included a key third-down conversion on a 19-yard pass to Troy Stellato. The touchdown itself came on another third-down play, showcasing Klubnik’s poise under pressure.
On their next drive, Clemson surged ahead, 14-7, after Phil Mafah’s 1-yard touchdown run. An interception by Kylon Griffin gave the Tigers excellent field position at the Wake Forest 23-yard line, and Clemson capitalized with a quick two-play scoring drive.
Clemson is recovering from their poor start, which is something you need to see from Dabo Swinney’s team.
