CHARLOTTE, NC – Clemson got off to a bad start, going 3-and-out on the first offensive drive and then allowing North Carolina to march down the field for an opening-drive touchdown. Another 3-and-out followed. And then magic happened.
Clemson leads UNC 24-10 at the half after falling behind 7-0 early.
Starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei started the game 2-for-5 for just 10 yards, and the Tigers inserted backup quarterback Cade Klubnik into the game on the third drive as the Clemson fans in the stadium erupted in cheers.
The change at quarterback was just the spark the Tigers’ offense needed.
