Clemson draws spicy reaction from fans, media as students chant for former QB
By Ethan Stone
Published:
Clemson starting quarterback Cade Klubnik did not have a good start to his career last season against Tennessee in the all-Orange Bowl.
The former 5-star talent has carried it into the 2023 season as well. He’s combined to throw just 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions through the first 5 and a half quarters of the year against Duke and Charleston Southern.
And Tigers fans are already fed up. The student section was heard chanting “We want DJ” in the 2nd quarter, referring to former starter DJ Uiagalelei, who transferred to Oregon State.
The same DJ Uiagalelei Clemson fans were begging to be replaced in favor of Klubnik last year.
Naturally, that elicited some reaction on social media. Check out some of the best below:

The Tigers currently lead Charleston Southern 21-17 with minutes before halftime.
