Clemson Dominates North Carolina 38-10 for First ACC Win

Clemson Tigers delivered a dominant 38-10 victory over North Carolina Tar Heels, showcasing the confident and decisive football expected from them this season. Quarterback Cade Klubnik led the offense impressively, throwing four touchdown passes with precision, while the defense stifled UNC's offense after an initial field goal. Clemson's opening quarter was particularly explosive, scoring 28 points and averaging 15.8 yards per play, which set the tone for the rest of the game. North Carolina, under coach Bill Belichick, struggled to recover from early big plays and failed to match Clemson's intensity, resulting in a largely empty Kenan Stadium by halftime. This win marked a turning point for Clemson, who had been performing below expectations earlier in the season, with players showing renewed confidence and execution. The victory also highlighted the contrast between the teams' preparation and execution, with Clemson capitalizing fully on UNC's lack of readiness.
