Most times when the starting quarterback goes down with an injury, a coaching staff has a lot of concerns. That is not the case at Clemson.
When starter Kelly Bryant missed the entire second half of last Saturday’s win over Georgia Southern, the offense did not miss a beat. Why? Because Trevor Lawrence has already been playing like a starter.
Clemson’s quarterback rotation benefited them greatly against the Eagles and it gives co-offensive coordinators Jeff Scott and Tony Elliott a comfort zone that they can call every game the same no matter who is taking the snaps behind the center.
