When it comes to the upcoming football season, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney is filled with anticipation. He can't help but be excited about the potential of his new offensive coordinator, Garrett Riley, and the team's starting quarterback, Cade Klubnik. However, Swinney knows that true success can only be measured on game day.
At the recent ACC Football Kickoff event, Swinney emphasized the distinction between performing well in practice and rising to the occasion under the pressure of the bright lights.
Despite the uncertainty, Swinney finds comfort in the track record of both Klubnik and Riley. Klubnik, a standout high school quarterback, has an impressive resume. Leading his team to consecutive state titles and earning the MVP title at the Elite 11 Camp, Klubnik's potential shines bright. The On3 Consensus rankings even recognize him as a five-star prospect and the top quarterback in the nation for the class of 2022.
Riley, too, brings an impressive history to the table. His previous successes, including guiding TCU to the national title game and earning the coveted Broyles Award for top assistant coach in the country, speak volumes about his capabilities.
As the new season approaches, Clemson fans eagerly await the opportunity to witness the potential of this dynamic duo. Only time will tell if Klubnik and Riley can translate their practice performances into victories on the field. Until then, the anticipation continues to build, and the spotlight remains on these two individuals.
Stay tuned for the thrilling moments that lie ahead for Clemson’s new offensive powerhouse.
