Lawrence's 3 TDs lead No. 1 Clemson to 41-23 win vs Virginia
CLEMSON, S.C. โ Trevor Lawrence was happy with Clemson's win over Virginia. Lawrence threw for 329 yards and three touchdowns as Clemson opened 3-0 for the sixth straight year with a 41-23 victory over the Cavaliers on Saturday night. However, like so often the past few years when pressed, Clemson and Lawrence found what it took to succeed. Rodgers had two TD catches in the final six minutes of the opening half to give Clemson a 24-3 lead that Virginia could not overcome. That's when Lawrence found Etienne for a final scoring throw to restore Clemson's momentum.
Cavs will try to avoid โOrange Crushโ at Clemson Saturday
Despite how far Virginia had come, the 62-17 blasting reminded the Cavaliers how much further they had left to climb to reach college footballโs mountaintop. The 6-2 redshirt sophomore from Ohio won his first start Saturday, and left Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney impressed. โLooks like a young Steve Young running around out there. Tough runner with really good size, an accurate thrower that really has no fear,โ Dabo gushed. The 1-0 Cavaliers travel to 2-0 #1 ranked Clemson Saturday night at 8 p.m.
