Second-ranked Clemson is in trouble.
Not only to the Tigers trail Syracuse, 16-7, at the break, but quarterback Trevor Lawrence left the game in the final minutes of the half after he went down with an upper body injury on the far sideline. Clemson has not officially released what the injury might be.
Lawrence was hit by Syracuse safety Evan Foster as Lawrence was trying to get out of bounds. The freshman was observed on the sidelines prior to heading to the locker room early for more observations.
Obviously, Lawrence’s injury comes at the worst time for the Tigers.
