When Clemson ripped Alabama for 44 points in a 28-point victory in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game last month, everyone in college football took notice.
Why?
Because the Tigers scored those 44 points with mostly freshmen and sophomores.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the No. 1 pick in the 2018 singing class, won MVP honors after throwing for 347 yards and three touchdowns on 20-of-32 passing. Fellow freshman Justyn Ross had six catches for 153 yards and caught one touchdown.
Sophomores Travis Etienne and Tee Higgins also got into the act. Etienne scored three touchdowns overall while running for 86 yards, while Higgins caught three passes for 81 yards and scored a touchdown.
