CLEMSON – Dabo Swinney’s worst nightmare occurred late in the first half when quarterback Trevor Lawrence was unnecessarily hit and was forced to exit due to concussion protocol.
Without Lawrence, Clemson is down to just Chase Brice at quarterback.
Clemson’s defense was reeling to end the half as Syracuse led 16-7 at intermission.
Cue the anxiety in the Valley.
PLAYER OF THE HALF: Clemson’s offensive line…The offensive line unit for the Tigers has come under fire during the first part of the season, but for most of the first half, they looked like the unit we thought they could be.
