Video: Trevor Lawrence Exits Game vs. Syracuse After Taking Hit to Helmet

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence exited the Tigers' contest with Syracuse on Saturday after taking a hit to the helmet by an Orange defender.

The freshman quarterback earned his first career start on Saturday, replacing senior Kelly Bryant. But Lawrence's start didn't last long after being hit by a Syracuse defender's shoulder while running for a first down on the left sideline. Lawrence was 10 of 15 for 93 yards prior to taking the shoulder-to-helmet shot, with the Tigers trailing 13-7.

Lawrence was evaluated by Clemson's medical staff on the sideline and subsequently taken to the locker room.
