CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Cade Klubnik threw for a career-high 378 yards and five touchdowns as No. 25 Clemson cranked up an offense that was missing a week earlier against top-ranked Georgia and routed Appalachian State 66-20. Klubnik and the Tigers got going quickly with a 76-yard TD pass to freshman Bryant Wesco Jr. less than two minutes in. The attack continued as the Tigers scored touchdowns on all eight of their first-half drives to lead 56-13 at the break.
