Clemson<\/a><\/strong> fell short of its ultimate goal of winning the College Football Playoff<\/a><\/strong> after losing to Texas<\/a><\/strong> on Saturday. Still, the tenacious Tigers were able to fight through adversity all season and win the ACC Championship in improbable fashion, as well being the first-ever three-loss team to make the CFP.<\/p>\n

With the odds stacked against them, Clemson still came out and took an early lead on the Longhorns. While that ultimately didn\u2019t last, it wasn\u2019t from a lack of effort. <\/p>\n

Quarterback Cade Klubnik<\/a><\/strong> threw for 336 yards and three touchdowns during the contest. Still, it wasn\u2019t enough to overcome Texas and its salty defense. Klubnik expressed his emotions after the game during Clemson\u2019s postgame press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate losing. I hate losing, and I hate losing in the playoffs,\u201d Klubnik shared postgame<\/a>. \u201cBut nobody picked us to be here in the beginning. Nobody believed in us. Nobody really wanted us here. But we believed in each other, and this group of guys that has fought together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Klubnik also shared a message directed toward his teammates, airing it publically in front of the reporters at the presser. He revealed the message he sent to his team as a leader following the loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think of Jake Briningstool<\/a><\/strong> and Barrett and Tristan Leigh<\/a><\/strong> and Marcus [Tate]<\/a><\/strong>, just naming a few guys. I feel like a year ago they were just like my teammates, and this year they\u2019re like truly my brothers,\u201d Klubnik continued. \u201cBecause we\u2019ve walked through life together, we\u2019ve walked through hard times. I spoke up and shared how much it sucked and also was kind of vulnerable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also just kind of shared with them that I\u2019m very thankful that I get to go through hard times \u2014 that I get to go through hard times with people that I love and that love me because I can\u2019t imagine going through the stuff that we\u2019ve gone through where I didn\u2019t love the people around me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Klubnik said he\u2019s hurting and had too many emotions going on at the time, but made sure to let the fans know how much his teammates meant to him this season. It was by far the best season of his career statistically for the Tigers QB, and credits the teammates he named, and everyone else in the Allen N. Reeves Football Complex. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve had such an impact on the player that I am, but the man that I\u2019m going to be and that I am now,\u201d he said. \u201cSo just kind of wanted to tell everybody in the room that.\u201d<\/p>\n
