Trevor Lawrence put forth one of his best performances of the season on Saturday, totaling four touchdowns to lead the second-ranked Tigers to a 45-14 victory over Florida State at Death Valley.
Lawrence got Clemson’s offense rolling from the get-go, hooking up with Tee Higgins for a 40-yard completion on the first play from scrimmage. Five plays later, the sophomore quarterback tossed a 3-yard shovel pass to Travis Etienne to give the Tigers an early 7-0 lead less than three minutes into the game.
Later in the first quarter, Lawrence led a nine-play, 66-yard drive that he capped with an 8-yard touchdown run – his fifth rushing touchdown of the season – to put the Tigers ahead, 14-0, with 4:41 left in the opening period.
