GLENDALE, Ariz. — Trevor Lawrence was not a fan of the play call that ultimately sent No. 3 Clemson to its fourth national championship game appearance in five years.
With the Tigers trailing No. 2 Ohio State by two points late in the fourth quarter Saturday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, Lawrence hit running back Trevor Lawrence for a 34-yard touchdown pass with 1:49 to go. It turned out to be the game winner in the Tigers’ 29-23 come-from-behind victory.
“Honestly, I wasn’t a big fan of the play in practice, because it’s tough if the defense doesn’t really bite on it and that safety comes down hard.
