Swinney: ‘That was stupid’

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — When Trevor Lawrence walked over to the sideline after throwing his second interception in the first quarter on Saturday, Dabo Swinney asked him what he was looking at.

When Lawrence told him what he saw, Swinney said, “That was stupid.”

It was that kind of first quarter for Clemson’s star quarterback, who just didn’t look like himself as he completed 3-of-7 passes for 9 yards in the first 15 minutes of Saturday’s game against Louisville.

“He was about as bad in the first quarter as you can be,” Swinney said. “I think that was like negative, negative, negative in whatever your rating is.
