Clemson 39, North Carolina 10.

Q. Cade, you come in during the third series of the game and absolutely take over. How were you able to be so successful and create such a spark for your offense?

CADE KLUBNIK: Yeah, I just think my peace comes from God, and it's simple as that. I'm so thankful for all the people that I get to be surrounded by every single day, whether it's the strength coaches or the QB room. We have such a tight group. Me and DJ have such an amazing relationship, and I'm so thankful for him and for the man that he's been to me, for the role model he's been for me.

I love football, and I just want to come out here and play the game I've always wanted to play, but it's awesome.

Q. Your first significant amount of playing time and your first real impact on a game, and it's in an ACC Championship win. Could you ever have imagined this outcome tonight?

CADE KLUBNIK: No, I think I never could have, but it was just God's timing, and I'm so excited. We're definitely going to celebrate, but just so excited for these guys and so excited for the seniors.

I think in the long run we didn't have the season that we wanted, but for these seniors and the guys that have meant so much for me for them to go out with a ring in the ACC Championship means a lot.

Q. DJ was in your ear a lot on the sidelines. What was he saying to you during the game?

CADE KLUBNIK: Yeah, just helping me pick apart defenses and schemes that they've been doing, and just nothing but encouragement. I love that dude, and like I said, he's been so awesome to me since I got here, and just I'm super thankful for him.
