One and done.
No. 12 seed Clemson showed heart but fell on the road 38-24 to No. 5 seed Texas on Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Fans and analysts flooded social media with reactions to the first-ever matchup between the Tigers and Longhorns, which had 101,150 fans in attendance. Check out some of the highlights below: Thank you @Clemson 🧡🤍 pic.twitter.com/cb7WzCIFtA Thank you Clemson…🤍🧡 Thank you Clemson🧡 Thank you Clemson🧡 pic.twitter.com/fTxDHtp1V8 Times get better ❤️. Grateful to call Clemson home. Season ain't end how we wanted but forever thankful for this place, these fans, my teammates and coaches. #Allin for life 🐅 Fought to the very end. Grateful for this team and this season. #ALLIN pic.twitter.com/DveHoHxub6 This @ClemsonFB offense 👀 Love this team man… we will be back trust me❤️ Asked Clemson QB Cade Klubnik about his plans for 2025, now that this year's over. Will he return for his senior year? Says he's not focused on that right now and wants to process emotions of playing his last game with the senior group. "Not thinking about me right now" Clemson QB Cade Klubnik says he spoke up in the locker room postgame because he wanted to make sure the seniors knew how much he appreciated them pic.twitter.com/ihZD1b5MLY Steve Sarkisian says QB Quinn Ewers audibled both Jaydon Blue touchdowns into run plays after evaluating the fronts Clemson was in. I think the 2nd half from #Clemson QB Cade Klubnik was the best half of his career. #2 left it all out there. QB1 energy 😎@CadeKlubnikQB with 336 yards, 3 TDs, and a standout performance against Texas. Steve Sarkisian's message to his team prior to today's CFP game against Clemson: "Run to win." Thankful for another season with @ClemsonFB and the #ClemsonFamily 🐅🧡 pic.twitter.com/90LnRlacYc Much of the debate since the CFP field was announced centered around the relative merits of 1-loss teams and 3-loss teams. Texas-Clemson painted a reasonably strong case against the 3-loss teams. Cade Klubnik and the Clemson offense without a running back dropped 24 points on Texas in their house. A team that has averaged 12.5 oppg. Clemson’s season comes to a close in the Lone Star State. Here’s what we saw. TEXAS MOVES ON! hate that we lost, but thank God we didn’t get spanked like the other teams in the playoff. Love my tigers we will be back Always All In. #Clemson pic.twitter.com/kd7qG5yC8m Texas’ Running Back Duo vs Clemson: NO. 5 TEXAS ERASES CLEMSON'S CFP CHANCES 🤘🔥 HOOKED 'EM 😤 Well, unlike Indiana and SMU, Clemson showed some fight, although the offense showed most of that fight. The D had a couple key stops but basically got trucked all night. The season is coming to a close for #Clemson, but a defining question was answered in 2024: Clemson getting stopped at the two-yard line while letting Texas run at will against ‘em. Perfect encapsulation of this game. Clemson has fought its tail off and Klubnik has absolutely balled out! But in the end their inability to run the ball is the difference in this game. Clemson's Cade Klubnik (305 yards passing) is 1st QB to throw for more than 300 yards vs. Texas this year. Last QB to throw for more than 300 yards was Washington's Michael Penix (430 yards) in last year's @CFBPlayoff semifinal, a 37-31 UW win Imagine if Clemson actually had a healthy running back 😫 Clemson brought their own guts today Clemson's defense once again gives up the long run. It looks like defenders try to tackle the ball and not the ballcarrier. Been a huge issue all year Still hard to believe Clemson is this bad against the run On the bright side, heck of a fight from the offense in the second half, especially without a real running game. Best game on Cade’s career in orange if you ask me. Some optimism as we turn the page to the 2025 season.

Cade Klubnik is not only your guy, he’s one of the top QBs in the nation.
Klubnik gave the Tigers all he could to give them life.
