So far, Trevor Lawrence’s freshman season at Clemson has worked out pretty well.
The quarterback has played in all 13 games for the second-ranked Tigers and is 9-0 as a starter. He leads the ACC with 24 touchdown passes—a freshman record at Clemson—and in passing efficiency (154.0). He ranks second in the conference in completion percentage (65.0), while throwing for 2,606 yards.
The best stat of them all and the one the Clemson coaches like the most. In 326 pass attempts, the ACC Rookie of the Year has thrown just four interceptions.
However, as good of a first season Lawrence has had, he isn’t the key to slowing down Clemson’s offense, something ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit pointed out when giving an early preview of the Tigers’ Cotton Bowl matchup with No.
