Cade Klubnik came in for Clemson’s final offensive drive, and boy, did he live up to the hype.
The freshman quarterback was smooth in his first game experience for the Tigers, finding Will Taylor for a 3-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to give the Tigers a 41-10 lead over Georgia Tech.
Klubnik was everything Clemson fans could ask when given the opportunity. He completed 4-6 passes for 50-yards and a touchdown in his lone drive. He also added one carry for four yards on the drive.
It looked as if the playbook opened up a little with Klubnik on the field, and everyone loved it. The first person to greet the young quarterback after his first collegiate score was starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei. It was a great way to cap off the Tigers’ first win of the season.
Here’s a look at how Twitter reacted to Klubnik’s first score for the Tigers:

Cade Klubnik's first career drive at Clemson: 4/6, 50 yards and a touchdown. Pretty impressive start for the five-star freshman.

Heck of a first drive by Cade Klubnik. Hard to believe that guy sat on your bench all game 😳

Is it me or was the energy so different from Clemson’s offense when Cade Klubnik came in the game? I know it was “garbage” time but it just felt like there was more juice.

Based on the way Twitter is talking about Cade Klubnik on a single drive, DJ Uiagalelei is going to be great as UCLA's QB in 2023.
