On Clemson’s first play of its second drive of Saturday’s scrimmage, Trevor Lawrence hit Tee Higgins for a long touchdown. It was the first of three straight scoring drives for the offense.
Then complacency set in.
“We just did not have the consistency overall,” co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said after the scrimmage at Memorial Stadium. “Three out of our first four drives were touchdowns, then guys started to relax. When guys start to relax, they get penalties and missed assignments.
“We just kind of got in our own way a little bit. We went back and we had some nice touchdown drives and then did not quite finish there in the red zone quite like we wanted to.
