CLEMSON – Trevor Lawrence watched a replay of the season-ending injury to Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and knew he needed to reach out.
Tagovailoa was tackled from behind late in the second quarter of last weekend’s 38-7 victory over Miss St. Tagovailoa immediately threw off his helmet and began screaming in pain. He was immediately airlifted to a local hospital and had surgery Monday morning for a dislocated hip and posterior wall fracture.
Lawrence has been lifted for backup quarterback Chase Brice early in the second half in most Clemson games this season.
