Nothing Furman showed Trevor Lawrence Saturday surprised him.
The freshman, who everyone at Clemson has been waiting to see, threw for 137 yards and three touchdowns, while sharing possessions with starter Kelly Bryant in second-ranked Clemson’s 48-7 victory over the Paladins at Death Valley.
On his first possession, Lawrence found Amari Rodgers on a third-and-short play to keep the drive alive. The drive ended with a 49-yard Greg Huegel field goal for a 13-0 lead with 9:19 to go in the second quarter.
The next time the Tigers (1-0) got the ball, Lawrence found Trevion Thompson for an 18-yard reception on third-and-five from the 10 to keep the drive going.
