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 defeat Stanford 40-14 on Saturday night.

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.
