Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney updated the injury status for quarterback Cade Klubnik.
The Tigers’ quarterback got hurt late in the third quarter on a second-and-goal play from the Boston College 9-yard line. On the play, Klubnik ran six yards on a designed quarterback run where he took a big hit from a couple of BC defenders with 1:21 to play in the third quarter.
On the replay, it appeared Klubnik’s left knee got stuck on the turf. He got up limping and was taken out of the game. Christopher Vizzina replaced him at quarterback and threw a fourth-down interception in the end zone to end the Clemson scoring drive.
Klubnik did not return. He finished the game 22 of 30 for 280 yards with two total TDs, including 48 rushing yards on nine carries.
Following Clemson’s 41-10 win, Swinney gave an update on the status of Klubnik during his postgame interview on ACC Network’s broadcast, saying it’s an ankle injury.
“He was trying to come back in there. It’s his ankle,” Swinney said. “So, we just held him. We were just going to see how it was. Good to get CV some opportunity, but he was trying to get back in there, but we were just going to see how it went. But it was his ankle.”
