Klubnik comes off bench, helps lead Clemson to comeback win over Syracuse

CLEMSON – Another thriller in Death Valley against Syracuse, and another game where the backup quarterback helped seal the deal.

Cade Klubnik came off the bench in the third quarter and led three scoring drives, Will Shipley had a career-high 172 rushing yards, and the No. 5 Tigers overcame a 21-7 deficit to defeat No. 14 Syracuse 27-21 at Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon.

In 2018, after starter Trevor Lawrence left with an injury in the second quarter against the Orange, Chase Brice came off the bench to help save the Tigers’ season.
