Clemson Triumphs in Blowout Against Tar Heels

Chapel Hill, North Carolina — Clemson dominated North Carolina with a decisive 38-10 victory on Saturday, October 4, 2025. The win came during a challenging season for the Tar Heels, marking their fourth straight loss under Coach Bill Belichick.

Quarterback Cade Klubnik led the Tigers with four touchdown passes, showcasing an explosive offense that scored 28 points in the first quarter alone. The performance set a new record for points allowed in a quarter by a Belichick-coached team.

Klubnik’s targets included standout receiver Antonio Williams, who also contributed with several big plays. North Carolina struggled defensively, allowing Clemson to find the end zone on each of its first four possessions.

North Carolina managed a mere 226 total yards against a relentless Clemson defense that stifled their attempts to establish a rhythm. The Tar Heels’ offense, plagued by turnovers and missed opportunities, failed to capitalize on any momentum.

After the game, Belichick acknowledged his team’s performance: “We have a lot of work to do. We need to make some changes quickly.” The Tar Heels have dropped to 2-4 this season, raising concerns as they enter a crucial stretch of games.

Clemson, now 4-2, looks poised to capitalize on this victory. They will face tougher opponents in the coming weeks, but this win against North Carolina has reignited hopes for a successful season.
