TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Cade Klubnik had 235 passing yards and threw touchdown passes to Antonio Williams and TJ Moore as No. 15 Clemson took an early lead and cruised past Florida State 29-13 on Saturday night.

Phil Mafah ran for 136 yards on 20 carries as Clemson (4-1, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) was in control from the start and took a 17-0 lead in the first quarter. The Tigers finished with 265 rushing yards, an average of 6.6 yards per carry.

Klubnik completed 19 of 33 passes, including a 57-yard touchdown to Williams. The junior quarterback also had 62 rushing yards.

Coach Dabo Swinney earned his 174th win at Clemson, breaking the record for wins at an ACC school – a mark held by Florida State’s Bobby Bowden.

Brock Glenn completed 23 of 41 passes for 228 yards and touchdowns to Amaree Williams and Ja’Khi Douglas for Florida State (1-5, 1-4). As a redshirt freshman making his third career start, Glenn completed more passes than he had in his previous two starts, plus cleanup time.
