Highlighted by a pair of Johnathan Bennett-to-Javonte Graves-Billips touchdown connections as well as a second-half defensive shutout, The Citadel (5-6, 3-5 SoCon) powered past in-state rival Wofford (5-6, 3-5 SoCon) in both programs' Southern Conference capstone matchups, upending the Terriers behind a 30-17 decision en route to reclaiming the Big Dog Bowl Saturday afternoon at Gibbs Stadium.
Bennett concluded the contest 11-for-18 through the air for 166 yards and a pair of touchdowns, hitting Graves-Billips on both scoring tosses; the grad transfer also contributed 49 yards on 11 carries as well. On the ground, Cooper Wallace paced the Bulldogs' rushing attack off nine carries for 84 yards, notably breaking away on a 54-yard carry up the middle for the key go-ahead touchdown late in the third quarter; Garrison Johnson also added 35 yards on ten carries while Corey Ibrahim accumulated 18 yards behind seven rushes.
For the receiving corps, Graves-Billips led the group with four catches for 68 yards, pulling down a 33-yarder early in the second quarter for his first score before helping the Bulldogs capitalize on a Wofford turnover via a 23-yard TD reception near the start of the fourth; additionally, both Tyler Cherry (45 yards) and Dervon Pesnell (28 yards) racked up key catches on the day as well.

After being shut out for most of the second half, star quarterback Cade Klubnik broke off a 50-yard run with just over a minute remaining, which eventually won the game. It was the second-longest rush of his career and his 18th touchdown on the ground.
Klubnik and receiver Antonio Williams were the biggest offensive contributors in this one.
Williams had an impressive 13 rushes for 149 yards and two touchdowns. It was the biggest game of his career, and the Tigers would not have beaten the Panthers without him. The Clemson quarterback had felt the pressure in this one as they had to deal with a very injured offensive line. Pittsburgh had five sacks and nine quarterback hurries.
The Tigers also had to deal with a nightmare situation at linebacker after being without two of their top three starters for different reasons.
