Twitter reacts to Cade Klubnik and the Tigers’ comeback win over Syracuse
Dabo Swinney and the Tigers avoided an upset in Death Valley Saturday as No.5 Clemson took down No.14 Syracuse 27-21, remaining undefeated this season.
Clemson fans went through a lot watching this matchup as the Tigers entered halftime down 21-10, with the team playing arguably the worst football we’ve seen from them this season. A quarterback change in the 3rd quarter from DJ Uiagalelei to highly touted freshman Cade Klubnik was just the spark the Tigers’ offense needed to get things going.
While Klubnik didn’t produce anything wild statistically, Clemson’s offense scored 17 points in the fourth quarter as the team took home another top-25 win. Will Shipley continues to play the best football of his career, taking home a 50-yard game-winning touchdown run in the fourth quarter. Shipley has been thriving as the focal point of this Clemson offense.
Here is a look at how Twitter reacted to Clemson’s comeback win over the Orange:

Clemson can thank the Refs for that win. Worst officiating I’ve seen in a long time. pic.twitter.com/PEIo9YlLxT

Protip: if you see an account talking about Clemson fans "storming the field" after beating Syracuse…it means they don't actually follow college football.
They've been doing this after home games for 20 years, it isn't newsworthy.

The officials also missed a clear late hit on Clemson. How in the world do you not call that after the call on Syracuse the previous drive?

Congrats to Clemson and the refs on their big win

ABC showing the two plays side by side was great. Watching them back to back, the uncalled Clemson shove was more egregious than the Syracuse penalty. Refs flipping this game. https://t.co/34F6u4xJkd

Clemson's defense in second half, six punts and an interception.

DJ Uiagalelei: “If I were in Dabo’s position, I would’ve done the same thing. If your quarterback is struggling, you’ve got to be able to make a change. We have 135 guys on this team and his responsibility is to all of them, not me.”

ACC is going to get Clemson into the playoff and they are going to get absolutely destroyed.
— Brandon Walker (@BFW) October 22, 2022
Entire CBS halftime crew just expressed shock that Clemson would storm the field against Syracuse.
How does one cover college football and not know that Clemson does this after every home win? Feels like there’s always someone on TV surprised by it.

DJ will likely get another chance, but I’ve talked to a few scouts who said Klubnik stands out big-time at Clemson practices. https://t.co/eWBmiyQKe0

Clemson always rushes the field since the early 2000s.
I think it is a fun thing to do after a win.
