Lawrence picked the Deacons apart Saturday

Top-ranked Clemson knocked off the Demon Deacons 37-13 at Truist Field on Saturday night. The Tigers dominated the Wake Forest defense behind stellar play at quarterback from Trevor Lawrence.

The junior finished the game 22-for-28 for 351 yards and a touchdown. Wake Forest tried to mix things up with pre-snap audibles but that didn’t fool Lawrence.

The George native spent the offseason studying opponent’s coverages and determining what the defense left open. Lawrence certainly succeeded on that metric against Wake Forest’s cover-two scheme in Winston-Salem.

“This whole off-season it’s been one of my goals to take what the defense gives me, don’t over complicate it, don’t try and and do too much,” Lawrence said.
