Freshman quarterback Cade Klubnik came on in relief of D.J. Uiagalelei and sparked No. 5 Clemson to comeback victory against No. 14 Syracuse.
USA TODAY Sports' Paul Myerberg and Dan Wolken break down Alabama Crimson Tide's season thus far.Freshman quarterback Cade Klubnik came off the sideline in the second half as a replacement for struggling starter D.J. Uiagalelei and led Clemson on back-to-back touchdown drives Saturday for a 27-21 comeback victory against No. 14 Syracuse at Memorial Stadium.
Clemson set an ACC record with its 38th consecutive home victory and reached 8-0 on its season for the ninth time. Klubnik led an 80-yard drive where he completed just one pass. And the Tigers scored on just two run on the next series with Shipley running 50 yards for the TD. On the two-point conversion to make it a 24-21 lead, Klubnik escaped a sack and found Joseph Ngata in the back of the end zone.
Clemson's defense talked all week about the need to stop Syracuse quarterback Garrett Shrader from running, but the Tigers did little to stop him in the first half. He had nine carries for 67 yards and a touchdown while completing 9 of 11 passes for another TD. Some of the runs were decisions made in the pocket. The Tigers said they were ready for that, but it didn't seem they had a spy on him.
