Mafah on Clemson's Offense: "We've just been flowing"

On assessment of offense four games in and confidence from results:

“It definitely gives us confidence in our work. It goes to show that if we put in the work, we can produce the results. It makes us work that much harder in practice and keep that consistency—and keep on encouraging each other so that we'll want to work hard and continue to keep producing.”

On Cade Klubnik’s growth as a leader of the offense and team:

“I've seen so much from Cade, and I've talked about this a lot. He's just grown as a leader in this offense. This being his second year in the offense—he can get to his reeds faster. He's just feeling more confident. He has more chemistry between the different position groups. The timing is there, and we're just clicking. It takes everyone to come together and work towards that common goal, and we've just been flowing.”

On Klubnik using his legs more this year and how that shows his growth as a dual-threat QB:

“I would say him using his legs. I've seen that in the past years but big play touchdowns from him creating and extending plays shows his dual-threat ability, and I really feel like he's displayed more of that, especially now early in the season, and I truly believe he will further down in the season, so I can't wait to see it.”

On receivers blocking and how that leads to explosive running plays:

“Yeah, and it's the extra effort they put in, too. Big plays in the run come from receivers running off their guys. They've been doing that a lot in helping us running backs be able to make explosive plays,  and just them being threats on the field has opened up the run game naturally. So we're just feeding off each other and building off that momentum.”
