A gut check win for the Tigers.

Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik played tough to get a 24-14 road win for the No. 23 Tigers against Virginia Tech on Saturday.

Klubnik completed 16-of-34 for 211 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. He also added 30 rushing yards.

"This is not an easy place to play, and I am so happy for this win," Klubnik said to the media following the game. “I’m physically and mentally exhausted, and that’s how I wanna finish every Saturday.”

Sammy Brown who led Clemson in tackles with 8.5 in his first start, was also available to the media.

“Coach (Dabo) Swinney told me it is time for me to step up. It's time for me to become a big boy,” Brown said. “Honestly, not until the game, until he put me in there on the first play (on knowing when he would start). We've been working all week with our three linebacker sets, but I had just honestly been playing or been practicing every week like I practice and just control what I can control.”
