Even Trevor Lawrence gets nervous before a big game

Even the unflappable Trevor Lawrence gets nervous before a big game, but he’s hoping his experience from last season will calm his nerves heading into the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State.

Lawrence was a true freshman quarterback with just nine starts under his belt when Clemson entered the College Football Playoff semifinal against Notre Dame last season. Lawrence had never played in a bowl game and had just one postseason game of experience – the Tigers’ dominating win over Pitt in the ACC Championship Game.

There were butterflies.

“I think before every game I get butterflies and get a little bit nervous,” Lawrence said.
