The Storylines

Clemson has been powered in part this season by a North Carolina native, as Weddington's Will Shipley has been one of the nation's most versatile weapons. Shipley has recorded the 23rd 1,000-yard rushing season in school history, and his contributions as a receiver and as a kick returner have made him one of only two players in the nation with at least 1,000 rushing yards, 150 receiving yards and 200 kickoff return yards, along with Texas A&M's Devon Achane. Shipley is one of four finalists for the Paul Hornung Award, given to the nation's most versatile player, and is a contender for AllAmerica recognition as an all-purpose/athlete candidate.

After averaging 2.6 sacks per game in Clemson's first nine games, the Tigers' pass rush has increased its production in recent weeks. Clemson produced 13 sacks (4.3 per game) in Clemson's three-game homestand to end the regular season. With 36 sacks this season, Clemson needs four more sacks to continue its streak as the only program in the country to reach 40 sacks in every season in the College Football Playoff era.

At No. 10/11, Clemson represents North Carolina's first ranked opponent of the 2022 season. The Tar Heels are the only team in the ACC this season not to have faced a team ranked in either the AP Poll or Coaches Poll (as of the time of each game).

Gonna be a good one tonight. Both teams coming off a loss looking for redemption.

I'm looking to see a healthy dose of Shipley and Mafah on the Clemson O. I feel like the coaches know they should have given it to Ship more at the end of the UofSC game and won't let that happen again.

Did Clemson really just rush 3 in the red zone????
CLEMSON.81.16.18

And 3 passes for the 3 and out on the opening drive

DJ still feels disinterested just like last week. May need to go ahead and put Cade in early. He. Is always excited to play. Really need to get the energy up on this team.

Man the energy is just different

You can feel the difference when Cade comes in. The offense is awake. That young man is just happy to be there and it's contagious

What a momentum shift!

Klubnik coming into the game is the turning point. Clemson seems to be rallying around him - both on offense and defense. This is a much-needed shot of energy for the program. It would have been nice to have last week- but hey, it's better late than never. The Tigers look good late in Q1.

Guys, I don't know what to tell you. This is unreal.

Either Cade is horrible at practice or D.J. is great.

I don't want to read too much into it, but this is a new team with Klubnik at this point.
BradyH

DJ: 2 three and outs.

Cade: 3 drives. 3 TD's.


Whatever the coaches needed to see from Cade to be convinced that he is ready, we've all seen it now. The backup just became the starter.
BradyH

Looked incomplete to me. The ball looked like it was coming loose when he hit the ground.

Let's see how Cade looks with the ball in an under-two-minute opportunity coming up... it's another big test for him- but he's been up to the task so far this evening.

Fun fact: Cade Klubnik's first-half QBR is 234.7.

Is that good? haha

Nate Wiggins was a first-half standout for Clemson. He had two big pass breakups and a blocked field goal. He's been a difference-maker so far.

I agree! I haven't had that much fun watching this team in 2 seasons.

UNC will start at midfield with 9 minutes remaining in Q3. It's their best starting field position of the night.

Wiggins is showing out tonight

Klubnik has completed passes to six receivers tonight. He's 15-18 for 233 yards and has two total TD's.

Just a note: Nate Wiggins Pick6 in Q3 is the longest INT return in #ACC Championship history.

This has gotten ugly kids...Clemson is rolling. Cade Klubnik and Dabo Swinney's postgame is going to be incredible.
