Defenses impress as White beats Orange in Clemson spring game

It was fitting that a defensive play late decided the Clemson spring game Saturday afternoon at Death Valley.

Freshman Khalil Barnes picked off fellow freshman Christopher Vizzina and returned it for a pick-six in the final minutes to lift the White to a 20-13 win over the Orange in the Clemson spring game.

The Tigers defense picked off starting quarterback Cade Klubnik and Vizzina two times each as both defenses impressed all afternoon.

The Orange led 10-7 at the half and 13-7 entering the fourth quarter, before the White outscored the Orange 13-0 in the final period.

Offensively, Klubnik was 18-33 for 190 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions for the White. He picked up a few critical third downs with his legs but was also sacked multiple times.

Hunter Helms and Vizzina were the quarterbacks for the Orange. Helms was 8-18 for 112 yards, while Vizzina was 3-9 for 9 yards, with two interceptions.

In addition to Barnes, running backs Phil Mafah and Keith Adams Jr. scored touchdowns for the White, while Domonique Thomas had a touchdown run for the Orange.
