Lawrence passing Watson one record at a time

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Second-ranked Clemson pummeled Atlantic Division rival Florida State 59-10 at Doak Campbell Stadium Saturday.

The Tigers (8-0, 4-0) left no doubt in the game as the offensive clicked on all cylinders gaining 524 yards on the day behind a record setting performance by freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He picked apart the Seminole (4-4, 2-4) secondary finishing 20-of-37 for 314 yards and four touchdowns passing Deshaun Watson’s freshman numbers in multiple categories.

Head coach Dabo Swinney is pleased with the first four starts of his young quarterback and the way Lawrence makes breaking milestones look easy.

“Trevor was awesome, 348 yards and four touchdowns,” Swinney said.
