Clemson, led by standout performances from Garrett Riley and Cade Klubnik, faces a pivotal match against Stanford, aiming to maintain their offensive prowess.

Cade Klubnik accounted for five touchdowns and the defense for No. 17 Clemson had three interceptions to rout the Cardinal.

After stellar performances in his past two games, Clade Klubnik's play declined. He went 15-for-31 passing for 255 yards and five total touchdowns (one rushing). His competition percentage (48%) was his lowest in a game as a starter.

Cade Klubnik threw four touchdowns and rushed for another against Stanford on Saturday to lead the Tigers to a 40-14 victory. The Tigers (3-1, 2-0 ACC) picked up their second consecutive conference win and, along with Miami, look like the class of the ACC heading to Florida State next weekend.
