A quarterback competition has been emphasized essentially since Trevor Lawrence stepped on Clemson’s campus - and Lawrence taking over that starting role has been a hot topic for local, regional and national media throughout.
Monday, that talk came to a head with No. 2 Clemson (4-0) announcing Lawrence as the starting quarterback for Saturday’s noon kickoff with Syracuse (4-0).
Moving a senior in Kelly Bryant with 18 starts and 16 wins to a backup role might typically draw some ire among national pundits, but those following the program see where the Clemson coaching staff is going with the decision.
