Can Cade Klubnik of the Clemson Tigers compete for the Heisman trophy?

The Clemson Tigers are off to a 1-1 start this season, and their two games thus far couldn’t have looked more different.

In Week 1, the Tigers were matched up against the best team in the nation on the road. Coming into the game against the Georgia Bulldogs, Clemson was a sizable underdog, but it was the way they lost that raised some concerns.

Against the Bulldogs, the defense for the Tigers really hung in there nicely versus a talented offense. However, they were eventually worn down, as their offense did nothing to help them. They were only able to muster three points in the loss, and a lot of blame was placed on quarterback Cade Klubnik and head coach Dabo Swinney.

In Week 2, Clemson looked like a completely different team against the Appalachian State Mountaineers. Klubnik and the Tigers absolutely torched the Mountaineers’ defense right from the start, as they silenced a lot of the critics after that performance.

With Clemson still being in the Top 25, they are going to receive a lot of national attention as a big-named program due to their recent success.
