LSU defense respects running ability of Lawrence: "He's the real deal"

Trevor Lawrence is coveted by NFL teams because of his ability to throw the football, and his arm strength is one of his best assets and will be on full display when No. 3 Clemson takes on No. 1 LSU in the National Championship a week from Monday.

LSU knows all about Lawrence and his stable of receivers, but the Bayou Bengal defenders also respect his running ability. Lawrence broke off a 67-yard run against Ohio State in the College Football Playoff Semifinal and led Clemson with 107 yards on the ground in the win over the Buckeyes.
