The consistent play on offense and stellar defense showed up on Saturday as Clemson took down the NC State Wolfpack in a dominating 59-35 win. Quarterback Cade Klubnik and running back Phil Mafah both had huge performances. Klubnik finished with 279 total yards and four total touchdowns while Mafah recorded 107 rushing yards and a touchdown.

No. 19 Clemson left no doubt against North Carolina State, sending a message to the rest of the ACC that they're going to be tough to overcome.
