Cade Klubnik vs. Carson Beck statistical comparison ahead of college football Week 1 matchup
The 2024 college football season kicked off last weekend with eight teams in action. The No.10-ranked Florida State Seminoles were the only ranked team to take the field, but their postseason hopes took a hit due to a 24-21 upset loss to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Dublin, Ireland.
Week 1 will mark the beginning of the season for the remaining teams in the AP Top 25 Poll. Each team in the rankings will take the field with multiple matchups pitting ranked opponents against one another to begin the season.

Both teams will return their starting quarterback from the 2023 season. Take a look at a statistical comparison of Cade Klubnik and Carson Beck below.
