    The No. 10 Clemson Tigers have quietly flown under the radar since their Week 1 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs . Since then, they have remained unbeaten, continuing to win in dominant fashion, led by quarterback Cade Klubnik , who has established himself as one of the best in the country this season.

    The Tigers defeated Wake Forest 49-14 on Saturday, improving to 5-1 and sitting atop the ACC . They are playing extremely consistent football on both sides of the ball.

    Klubnik's outstanding performance in Clemson's road victory did not go unnoticed; he was named the ACC Quarterback of the Week for the second time this season, showcasing his excellence in his third year with the team.

    Klubnik completed 31 of his 41 passing attempts, throwing for 309 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing seven times for 30 yards. He has found his groove and continues to perform at an elite level as he aims to lead the Tigers to the ACC Championship and the College Football Playoffs.

    This season, he has accumulated 1,528 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and just two interceptions, along with four rushing touchdowns, all while maintaining an impressive 88.3 quarterback rating, which ranks fifth in the nation.

    However, challenges lie ahead in the coming games. The expectation is that the Tigers will be favored in every matchup remaining on their schedule. If they can win out, they should secure a spot in the 12-team playoffs.

    Their toughest remaining game is expected to be against No. 20 Pittsburgh on the road on November 16. Other potential challenges include matchups against Louisville and South Carolina . But with the way Cade Klubnik is playing, the Tigers are thriving.
