Klubnik was 23-for-37 for 263 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday’s 31-14 victory over Syracuse, and it was his ability to extend plays with his legs and then make a throw for a completion that helped the Tigers convert 7-of-15 times on third down.
With Clemson leading 24-14 in the third quarter, the JMA Wireless Dome crowd was in full throat as the Tigers faced a 3rd-and-12 on their own 23. Klubnik was flushed from the pocket, rolled left, and threw a dart to freshman wide receiver Tyler Brown on the sideline for a first down.
