In a game oddly reminiscent of the 2018 matchup between the same teams in the same stadium, the Tigers struggled mightily. What will get the postgame headlines is the fact that quarterback DJ Uiagalelei was benched shortly after halftime in favor of freshman Cade Klubnik. Maria Lysaker/Contributor Show Less Quick take Jaelen Smith picked up four touchdowns including the go-ahead score on a 21-yard pass from Lance Awe with 1:44 left in the game and Klein Cain rallied to defeat state-ranked Klein Collins 25-21 in District 15-6A action Friday night at Klein Memorial Stadium. The 2018 matchup featured a QB change due to an injury to Trevor Lawrence, and just like Chase Brice did on that day, Klubnik was behind center as the Tigers came back to win the game. After the game, Swinney stood behind Uiagalelei as the team’s starting quarterback despite the poor performance. In 2018, Clemson leaned heavily on the run game. “It’s just a tribute to our kids, they never stopped fighting,” Klein Cain head coach James Clancy said. Today, Klubnik threw only four passes and a huge 50-yard touchdown run from Will Shipley that gave the Tigers the go-ahead score. The Cougars fell to 6-3 overall, 5-2 in district. Four turnovers for the Tigers, including two rough Uiagalelei interceptions and a fumble returned for a touchdown, contributed to Syracuse building a 21-7 lead at the half. …They just kept playing, kept plugging away. “Your best player sometimes can have a bad day, and he just got out of rhythm, made some bad plays. Those mistakes go a long way in explaining why Uiagalelei got benched. Backs against the wall, Clemson’s standout defense reminded everyone why it remains one of the best units in the country, especially up front.” Highlights Just it when it looked like No. You should not win a game with a -4 turnover margin. “DJ’s our quarterback.

Katy continued to dominate, marching 82 yards after a three-and-out. According to ESPN, teams -4 or worse in any FBS game this season were 0-17. But there were no panic in these Tigers, and they outlasted the Orange. After a Hurricane turnover on downs in enemy territory to start the game, Klein Collins covered about 80 yards in four plays, capped by Justin Castillo’s 42-yard touchdown run with 8:14 left in the first quarter. You can write that right now. Syracuse’s schedule hadn’t really been one to write home about to date, but they fought, even bowing up to get the ball back with less than two minutes left with a chance to tie the game, but Dino Babers’ questionable delay in calling a timeout as the clock winded down after a fourth down stop was confusing. What also remains befuddling is what exactly happened to Sean Tucker’s touches in the third quarter as Clemson stormed back to take the lead. Smith picked up two touchdowns of his own in the second quarter. But while receiver Orande Gadsen played well, Garrett Schrader’s late pass forced into triple coverage blanketing the standout WR effectively ended the game when it was picked off by Mickens. But how about Cade Klubnik coming in there and leading these guys?” Uiagalelei had played well this season until Saturday, with 17 touchdown passes and four rushing touchdowns."Then the play-action opened up and that helped us too. When asked in an on-field ESPN interview, Dabo Swinney said he's confident Uiagalelei is going to remain the starter. The Hurricanes trailed 14-12 after a missed extra point and two-point play. “That’s our guy, that’s our leader. You can write that right now, DJ’s our guy,” Swinney said. The Tigers could have gone for the field goal. More CFB Coverage:. But the Tigers have a bye week now, and if there is a time to make a permanent QB change it is likely now.

In the third quarter, following a Tiger punt, Awe picked up 20 yards on a quarterback keeper but lost the ball as Eli Wyatt stripped the ball away from behind and Chris Gant Jr. Johnathan Hall added a fourth-quarter interception as Katy slowed the district's top offense enough to break the game open. But what matters today is that they again won—just like five seasons ago. By . Moments later, Parks extended their lead to 21-12 on a 1-yard quarterback sneak with 18 seconds left.
