Clemson's new starting QB Trevor Lawrence exits with injury

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence left the Tigers' game against Syracuse in the second quarter after taking a shot to the head.

Lawrence, a true freshman making his first career start, was running along the sideline when Evan Foster hit him. Lawrence stayed down for several minutes before walking off on his own power.

After getting evaluated in the injury tent on the sideline, the Clemson training staff took away his helmet and took him into the locker room.

The injury to Lawrence creates a massive problem for the Tigers.
