Lawrence nearly perfect in huge first half performance

Trevor Lawrence was sharp from the start of top-ranked Clemson’s game against The Citadel on Saturday at Death Valley and had a monster first half while leading the Tigers to a 49-0 lead at the break.

Lawrence was nearly perfect, completing eight of his nine passes for 168 yards and three touchdowns. The Heisman candidate also added a rushing touchdown.

The Tigers scored on all four of the first-half drives led by Lawrence. Freshman D.J. Uiagalelei quarterbacked two drives and found the end zone on a pair of rushing touchdowns, while redshirt freshman Taisun Phommachanh entered the game on the final possession of the half.
