No surprise who the player of the game was from Clemson’s 37-13 win over Wake Forest on Saturday.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence led the top-ranked Tigers to a victory on opening night by throwing for 351 yards as Clemson won its 23rd straight game against an ACC opponent.
Lawrence could not have been much better. The Cartersville, Ga., native ran for two scores overall and threw for another, while completing 22-of-28 passes.
“Outside of the one play there, where he took the sack, he could have gotten rid of that ball, but probably the only plays he wanted to get back were the drop balls,” offensive coordinator Tony Elliott said.
