Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik said he doesn't "really have any concerns” about the Tigers heading into the season opener at Duke on Monday night.
The sophomore starter is confident that his team has put the work in and treated every rep like it’s a snap in a real game.
“I feel great about where we’re at,” Klubnik said Wednesday. “I’m so excited for this team. They’ve been working, every single position group. I’m excited for a lot of guys that not a lot of people know about are going to have a great year.”
The Clemson QB had plenty to say about the offense and Week 1, which begins at 8 p.m. on Labor Day:
- Klubnik believes the Tiger defense has done an “incredible job” preparing the Clemson offense for the season.
- Klubnik doesn’t see many differences in starting the season on the road but thinks its a “fun” challenge.
- On being ready to show what they’ve been working on: “We’re not trying to prove anything…We’re just gonna go play ball. There’s a peace and a joy from that.”
- Klubnik loves the simplicity of Garrett Riley's offense. He said Clemson doesn't use a "41-word play-call" in the huddle.
- Much has been made about Clemson openly talking about winning the national title this year. Klubnik gave his assessment: "That's what we want, whether we say it or not."
- Klubnik said the ideal offensive outing involves spreading the ball to as many players as possible and having a great day running, passing and with the offensive line.
- On nerves: "I don't see any reason to get nervous. I put the work in to get to this game. I'm excited."
