Clemson WR Tee Higgins Torches LSU on 36-Yard Reverse Touchdown

Clemson wide receiver Tee Higgins scored his first career rushing touchdown in impressive fashion on Monday, scoring from 36 yards out on a reverse in the College Football Playoff national championship.

Higgins' 36-yard dash was Clemson's second touchdown of the night at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Clemson took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a 1-yard touchdown run by quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Lawrence had a hand in Higgins' touchdown run. The sophomore quarterback set a block before Higgins hit the edge, eliminating one defender as Clemson's wide receiver sprinted to the end zone.
