Has Clemson football offensive coordinator Tony Elliott been hamstringing quarterback Trevor Lawrence?

A couple of times this week, either the ACC Network or ESPN have rebroadcast the 2016 and 2018 Clemson football national title wins. Watching those games and it became very apparent that Elliott and former co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott don’t give Lawrence the same opportunities that they gave to Deshaun Watson and statistics seemingly agree.

Earlier this week, we posted an article on whether or not Trevor Lawrence could surpass Deshaun’s 2016 numbers when he threw for more than 4500 yards and the overwhelming response was that Lawrence won’t get the opportunities to do so.
