Trevor Lawrence’s numbers did not jump off the page when looking at the box score Saturday, but he did something during No. 2 Clemson’s 35-6 victory over Duke that no other freshman quarterback has done in a Clemson uniform.
With his second touchdown pass of the game, a 10-yard throw to T.J. Chase in the fourth quarter, Lawrence passed Kyle Parker by becoming the first Tiger to throw 21 touchdown passes in a single season as a freshman (true or redshirt). He already held the record for touchdowns thrown by a true freshman.
Lawrence finished the night at Death Valley 21-of-38 for 251 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
