Kevin Jennings Throws 2 TD Passes as SMU Avenges ACC Title Game Loss to Clemson, 35
- On Oct. 18, Clemson is expected to start redshirt sophomore quarterback Christopher Vizzina against the SMU Mustangs football team as Cade Klubnik remains questionable.
- Klubnik sprained his ankle in the third quarter of the Boston College game and was limited in practice sessions, with Dabo Swinney saying `Just been limited` as his status improved hour-to-hour.
- Coach Dabo Swinney said, 'If Cade can't go, CV's the guy for sure and he gotta go get it done,' on Oct. 15, citing confidence in Vizzina's readiness. Swinney also praised Vizzina's spring and fall camp work.
- ESPN college football reporter Pete Thamel said Klubnik was a game-time decision but was ultimately ruled out, ending his 34-start streak as Christopher Vizzina made his first career start on Oct. 18, 2025.
- Clemson, 3-3 on the season, faces SMU with the Mustangs' pass defense surrendering 315.8 yards per game; the game kicks at 3:30 p.m. ET on Oct. 18 on ACC Network.
