No. 1 Clemson 49, The Citadel 0: Standout players and position grades

CLEMSON – The first half told the story.

Clemson scored on its first seven drives and then failed to dent the scoreboard after that, but held The Citadel off the scoreboard in a 49-0 victory Saturday in Death Valley.

Clemson starts the season 2-0 while The Citadel falls to 0-2.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence was 8-9 for 168 yards and three touchdown passes and also rushed for another touchdown, while starting running back Travis Etienne had just eight carries for 68 yards in very limited action.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE GAME: Lawrence would be the easy answer here, but we are going to give it to wide receiver Frank Ladson.
