Clemson Dominates Stanford 40-14, Climbs to No. 14

Clemson football rose to No. 14 in the Week 6 US LBM Coaches Poll after a dominant 40-14 victory over Stanford. Despite a strong start by Stanford, which led in yards and time of possession at halftime, Clemson capitalized on key turnovers and big plays to secure the win. Clemson's QB Cade Klubnik had a mixed performance, throwing for five touchdowns but struggling with accuracy and pressure. Stanford showed promise with a strong ground game, led by freshman RB Micah Ford, but turnovers and failed fourth-down attempts were costly. The Tigers' defense, despite missing key players, recorded three interceptions and four sacks, helping maintain their lead. This win marks Clemson's continued rise after a season-opening loss to Georgia, positioning them as strong contenders in the ACC.
