As Clemson continued its bowl practice Monday, quarterback Cade Klubnik literally went through the motion of throwing (without a ball in his hand at times) as wide receiver Tyler Brown later revealed that Klubnik is nursing a thumb injury but he’s ‘expected to play in the bowl game.’

Dabo Swinney, who did not acknowledge Klubnik’s issue prior to practice when speaking to the media, indicates 26 scholarship players will be unavailable for the game due to injury or attrition.

In Clinton, Presbyterian College celebrated head football coach Steve Englehart earning FCS National Coach Of The Year by the American Football Coaches Association.

Englehart led the non-scholarship program to a 10-2 record in his fourth season at the helm, which included upsets at eventual SoCon champ Mercer and Furman.

He becomes the first Pioneer Football League coach to earn the honor.
