Following Kentucky’s go-ahead score with just over two minutes left in Saturday’s Gator Bowl, Clemson needed to drive 68 yards to win the game. They did just that, with Klubnik completing 8-of-8 passes on the drive as the Tigers took the tempo to another level.
“Obviously we know that they're going to be playing a lot of three-high structure, so they're going to give us some throws here and there, but also two-minute drill, so we have to get rolling, got to get set fast,” Klubnik said after the game. “We kind of knew that tempo was a problem for them coming into it, and I think that we probably gotten to a little bit of faster tempo at times throughout the game because I think they had some struggles with it, but just -- I like the pace of it, and I think that that was just kind of naturally something we did.
