CHARLOTTE, NC – Cade Klubnik stood on the stage in the middle of the Bank America Stadium field, unaccustomed to the bright lights of a national television audience. It’s something he might want to get used to.
DJ Uiagalelei started Saturday’s ACC Championship Game 2-for-5 for just 10 yards and was replaced by Klubnik for the third series of the game. Klubnik was electric, finishing the night 20-of-24 for 279 yards and a touchdown. He added 30 yards and a touchdown on seven carries on the ground, winning MVP honors.
Klubnik gave credit to Uiagalelei for helping him maneuver through his first extended playing time, and then said he wanted to win for the seniors.
