ClemsonA team that has returned more production than anyone in the country – a team of university football playoffs, notice – sometimes looked horrible in 2025. Even the old Tiger stars are Chemant on slow start -up.
For three games, the Tigers have lost near a team of respectable LSU, which is currently n ° 3 in the country. Then Troy gave Clemson a massive fight, although orange and white were able to withdraw the victory. Finally, it led us to the match yesterday.

Georgia Tech Isn’t that a behemoth in the AC, but It looked like Clemson. Haynes King rolled up on the defense of tigers, recording 211 yards in the air and 101 additional yards plus a touch on the ground. On the other hand, the Clemson game player struggled with consistency on Saturday afternoon.
Clemson vs Georgia Tech Box Score Analysis
Cade Klubnik struggle
After finishing with a percentage of completion of 63.4 and 3,639 yards in 2024, Klubnik is on average 59.7% and is underway to finish the regular season with 1,278 yards in the air. To be clear, 1,200 meters is probably not its ceiling, but it illustrates how bad the start of Klubnik.

Against Georgia Tech, the fifth year senior launched for 207 yards, a touchdown and an interception to a clip of 58%.
With Antonio Williams injured, Klubniks found a wide favorite, Bryant Wesco Jr, who has 215 more reception yards than anyone in the team, but it may not be a good thing. Although it can certainly be on Clemson’s wide receiver so as not to open, Klubnik’s propensity target a WR much more than the others is a striking difference compared to last season.
In 2024, Antonio Williams pulled 22.7% of the team’s receptions for 23.2% of reception yards. So far, Wesco Jr. has 34.6% of receptions and 49% of yards.
Limiting yourself in the game of passes by becoming predictable is something that Clemson cannot afford. He has already been unidimensional with poor precipitated attack.

Adam Randall needs more litters
Klubnik found his legs last season, but it seems that becoming a real quarter-threatening quarter may not be in the cards for him. He had the most racing in the team with 17, but managed to win only 3.6 yards per race. The bags are not to be blamed because the yellow Jackets have not recorded.
The only part of the floor game that looked impressive against Georgia Tech (and the rest of the season, to be Frank) was Adam Randall. During 15 attempts, he won 80 yards and a hit on Saturday.
The Tigers have missed Phil Mafah this season, but it seems that they have a bell back in the team; They just don’t give him the litters he deserves. In any world, Klubnik should only have Randall, especially with his difficulties this season.

Explosive documents and lack of turnover for the defense of tigers.
What aggravates all of this is that Clemson’s offensive played this way against a defense of Georgia Tech who was not very good. In addition to the zero bags of the Yellow Jackets, they failed to record a tackle for the loss or even a quarter. Klubnik had all day to put on most of the shots, but only finished 58% of his attempts.
On the other hand, Clemson dismissed Haynes King once and nailed eight plated for loss. Unfortunately, Georgia Tech had many more explosive games than Clemson to compensate for the TFL gap. King launched six passes for more than 15 yards, representing 142 yards of the total 211 of Yellow Jackets in the air. King has also taken into account the three precipitated games of Georgia Tech for more than 10 meters.
In addition to that, Tech won the turnover battle, removing Klubnik and recovering an escape while the Tigers failed to create turnover for themselves.
Clemson is struggling to abandon big games – and not to do their own – must end if the tigers want a chance to save the season. Fortunately, Syracuse is next to it and the orange was just as inept in both. Syracuse head coach Fran Brown even operated the Sprints team After barely beating Uconn last week. It is a privileged chance for Clemson to hit the reset button.
