Cade Klubnik and the Clemson Tigers are celebrating their fifth ACC win after a 48-31 victory over Virginia, but the quarterback was critical of himself and admitted to making a few mistakes after the game.
In his postgame comments, after throwing for 308 passing yards and 3 touchdowns, Klubnik acknowledged he wasn’t fully satisfied with some of his throws, including an interception.
“I’m pretty upset about a couple of my throws today. Some days you aren’t on it. I’ll look back at it and figure out why. At the end of the day it’s mechanics, but I’m not worried about it at all. I know the strength of my accuracy that I lean on, I’m not afraid to trigger and make any throws.”
Despite his self-criticism, Klubnik praised his teammates, saying, “We still put up 500-something yards and many points. That’s what’s really special about our team and about our crew—you’ve got to lean on the guys around me, the offensive line, and those receivers making great catches.”
