After Virginia Tech took advantage of a coverage bust by Clemson’s defense for a 48-yard pass play to set up a 4-yard rushing touchdown by Khalil Herbert that gave the Hokies an early lead, the third-ranked Tigers responded with a scoring drive of their own late in the first quarter to regain the advantage.
Trevor Lawrence used his legs on a zone-read running play scored from 17 yards out to put the Tigers back in front, 10-7, Saturday night at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Va.
Lawrence’s rushing touchdown, his fifth of the season, capped a 10-play, 75-yard drive that spanned 3:33.
