CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Cade Klubnik threw for three touchdowns, backup running back Jay Haynes scored twice on the ground and defensive tackle Payton Page had a 57-yard pick-6 score as No. 17 Clemson routed The Citadel 51-14 Saturday to move to 39-0 all-time against FCS opponents. The Tigers (9-2) won their third straight and still held on to feint hopes of reaching the Atlantic Coast Conference title game and the College Football Playoff. Clemson, which finished ACC play at 7-1 with last week's 24-20 win at Pittsburgh, needs No. 11 Miami to lose at Syracuse next week to play for a league crown for the eighth time in 10 seasons. Clemson cranked it up early in this one, looking a lot like the offense that averaged better than 48 points during a six-game win streak earlier this season instead of the one that had not surpassed 24 points in any of its past three contests. Klubnik connected with Antonio Williams for a 30-yard TD to start the scoring and then the 315-pound Page stretched out for an interception and rumbled along the left sidelines — losing momentum with each step — for Clemson's first score from a defensive lineman in four years and a 14-0 lead. And Page wasn't the only defender to score. Clemson's All-American linebacker Barrett Carter playing his next-to-last home game, had a 4-yard TD run on Senior Day to end the Tigers' scoring. The Citadel (5-7), of the FCS Southern Conference, went on to its 19th straight loss to Clemson since 1932. Klubnik completed 12 of 16 passes for 198 yards. He headed to the sidelines after his second TD pass to Williams that gave the Tigers a 42-0 lead in the third quarter. Haynes got the bulk of the work after starter Phil Mafah achieved his 1,000-yard rushing season with three first-quarter runs. Haynes had scoring runs of 70 and 9 yards. The Citadel: The Bulldogs are the leaders among FCS teams in victories over FBS opponents with nine since the college football split into Division I and Division I-AA in 1978. They couldn't stay competitive, but did roll up a season-high 288 yards rushing and scored a touchdown against Clemson for the first time in the past four games in the series. Clemson: The Tigers reached nine wins in a season for the 14th-straight time. Only Alabama, which entered the season with 16 straight nine-win seasons, had a longer current streak. The Citadel's season is complete. Clemson closes the regular season with its rivalry game with South Carolina on Saturday. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

Pamela Vetter deals with small airline seats like a lot of passengers: She pretends they don’t exist. “I have a fully charged phone, and I just watch a movie,” says Vetter, the vice president of a networking organization in Los Angeles. “I immerse myself in it to distract me from the small seats.” But lately, it’s been getting harder to make believe small airline seats aren’t a problem. On her recent flight from Chicago to L.A., the economy seats felt narrower and offered less legroom than ever. “My knees nearly touched the seat in front of me,” she recalls. “Then, when the person in front of me reclined, it got even worse, so it was challenging to lower my tray table when the fight attendants offered us drinks.” She’s right. Planes don’t just feel more cramped than ever — they are more cramped. There’s also a growing realization that small seats pose a real threat to our health and safety. And while there are ways to beat the system, the ultimate fix isn’t up to passengers. Only 25% of airline passengers can now reasonably fit in seats, according to FlyersRights, a nonprofit organization that closely tracks airline seat sizes. “Airlines continue to shrink passenger space to force more people to pay more to upgrade to more legroom or larger seats,” says Paul Hudson, president of FlyersRights. But why are the seats tighter than ever? There’s one obvious explanation: In 2022, Congress asked the Federal Aviation Administration to set a minimum seat size, but that didn’t happen. Airlines interpreted that as a license to squeeze their seats closer together — and so they did. Is there a solution? Yes, but it won’t be easy. We could have a polite discussion about shrinking seat sizes, but instead, let me tell you a story about a trip that brought this problem into sharp focus for me. I recently flew from Helsinki to Copenhagen. As I boarded the aircraft, I noticed the uncomfortably thin and narrow seats. Like Vetter, after sitting down I could feel the seat in front of me pushing against my knees. There was no room to lean back. Then I saw the passenger behind me struggling to fit into his seat. I turned and saw him protruding into the aisle. I felt sorry for the traveler and for the guy next to him. I also empathized with the passengers who had to squeeze around this traveler when they tried to access the lavatory. And clearly, there were some safety issues here — a lot of safety issues. Imagine if we had to evacuate the plane? Would he have been able to make it to the exit? Would he have blocked other passengers from getting out of the plane? That flight changed the way I feel about seat size. Small seats are a safety hazard, and it’s just a matter of time before people die. In the United States, we had a chance to address shrinking seat sizes, according to Bill McGee, a senior fellow for aviation at the American Economic Liberties Project. “But the FAA defied logic with a study that concluded tighter airline seats do not impede evacuations during an emergency,” he says. McGee says the problem is the government hasn’t updated its testing methodologies to reflect egress from airline cabins in the 2020s — particularly because tighter seats are now coupled with larger Americans and record-high passenger loads. “Tighter seats are uncomfortable, a financial rip-off, and a health threat due to blood-clotting issues,” he adds. “But worst of all, they present a danger to safe evacuations.” So is there a way to survive your next flight without getting cramped, suffering a blood clot — or worse? Even as the amount of personal space shrinks, there is a way to find more room. But it’s not easy. Look for the “secret” seats. If upgrading isn’t in your budget, try getting an aisle or emergency exit row seat. Exit row seats have more legroom but are not wider than the average economy class seat. (As a bonus, there are no young children in the exit row seats, so you might be able to sleep better.) Improvise. Look, economy class seats were not designed for your comfort. They’re designed for airlines’ profit. So channel your inner MacGyver, says Andy Abramson, a frequent air traveler who runs a communications consultancy in Las Vegas, Nev. “I try to make myself more comfortable by putting my coat behind me like a pillow,” he says. “I’ve also found that rolling up a magazine or newspaper and placing it in the small of my back offers some relief.” But for long flights, it’s still pure torture. There just isn’t enough space. Pay for it. If you can afford a seat in economy “comfort” or “plus” — which gives you about the same amount of seat pitch as economy class a few decades ago — then experts recommend you do. “Especially on long flights, if you can swing it, you should,” says travel coach Ariel Figg. Of course, that’s what the airlines want you to do. No one should have to make that choice, and every seat should have a humane amount of space. But these are imperfect ways around a flawed system. Fact is, we’re getting bigger and the seats are getting smaller. Maybe the U.S. government and other aviation enforcement bodies lack the courage to set minimum seat standards. But airlines must know that they are on the wrong side of history. We’ve been here before. In the 19th century, greedy landlords in New York could rent tenements with poor lighting, inadequate ventilation and no indoor bathrooms. The cramped apartments were breeding grounds for disease but highly profitable to owners. But in 1901, a progressive government passed laws that set minimum size requirements for tenements and required adequate lighting, ventilation and indoor bathrooms. And today, even the most ardent airline apologist couldn’t imagine living in a rental without these basic amenities. Maybe this problem just needs clear-headed, thoughtful government regulation. And airlines need to do the right thing — before someone gets hurt.
