Clemson Football: Cade Klubnik impressed with the offense's ability to "bounce back"
Cade Klubnik is entering his first season as Clemson's starting quarterback. With the advantage of a full offseason as the starter, big things are expected of the sophomore. In new offense coordinator Garrett Riley's system, Klubnik will have a chance to star. He sat down with the media on Monday to discuss where he and the offense are currently at and his biggest takeaways from Clemson's two scrimmages.
"The way that we bounced back in the first one," said Klubnik. "We had a little bit of a rocky start the first two drives and the way we bounce back, I mean it was the first two drives, a little rocky, and then it was like the rest of the day we just dominated... not necessarily dominated but you know, our defense obviously did great but just the way that we didn't let two bad drives carry on through the rest of the scrimmage or another game you know what I mean?"
"So the way that we just 'Alright, we messed up a little bit. Let's bounce back and let's just go play.' like it's, we really just kind of brushed off what happened and just went and played, and then the third drive, you know, we put like a 75-yard drive together. And then two minutes, we won that, and things just bounce back, and that was just really good to see in our offense."
In a fast-paced offense like Riley's, turnovers and three-and-outs are going to happen, it's not letting them mount up that matters. According to Clemson's QB1, the Tigers are in good shape.
