After averaging a mere 24.4 points per game against FBS opponents last season, all eyes were on the Clemson offense taking strides in 2022. The Tigers blew past that mark during Monday’s 41–10 win over Georgia Tech, but the performance was far from flawless.
Clemson managed just 4.85 yards per play, ranking 100th in the nation after Week 1. Its first four drives amounted to only 55 yards on 13 plays, with three punts and a fumble. Its first touchdown drive was set up after the Tigers took over on the Georgia Tech 5-yard line following a blocked punt, and the offense needed a fourth-down conversion to finally find the end zone.
Given that rocky showing, it’s understandable that offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter was asked Tuesday about the team’s quarterback situation, but remained steadfast that incumbent starter D.J. Uiagalelei would remain in place over backup Cade Klubnik.
