ARLINGTON, Texas – Freshman Trevor Lawrence completed 27-of-39 pass for 327 yards and three touchdowns in No. 2 Clemson’s 30-3 win over third-ranked Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl Classic.
In doing so Lawrence earned his 10th victory as a starter, which broke Kyle Parker’s school record by a freshman (first-year or redshirt) and made Lawrence the first Clemson freshman quarterback to win double-digit games as a starter.
The Tigers (14-0) advanced to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game to face Alabama on January 7thin Santa Clara, Calif. It’s their third trip in four seasons to the championship each against the same opponent.
