Clemson freshman Trevor Lawrence had another impressive performance leading his team to their 11th win of the season.
With his last touchdown pass against Duke, Lawrence broke Kyle Parker's freshman record for touchdown passes (20) with 21 touchdowns. He finished the game 21-for-38 for 251 passing yards and two touchdowns. Lawrence spoke to the media following the game and talked about the win. “We didn’t start how we wanted to, obviously, but we knew what we had to do," he said. "We wanted to leave no doubts. We wanted to come out, play well and execute and do the things that we were doing the first half." The freshman signal-caller knows that he could have played better but happy with the victory. "I feel like I played decently," he said. "I definitely missed some throws, and there were some third downs that I wish I would have thrown a better ball. Overall, we won the game by a good bit. A win is a win, and that is what we came here to do." Lawrence will get his first taste of the in-state rivalry shortly. “Even watching it on TV last year, you could see the rivalry between the two teams. It’s a big game, so we are just going to have a good week of preparation.”
