SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Mattison says Clemson’s offense is not all about quarterback Trevor Lawrence. In fact, he believes its wide receivers Tee Higgins, Justyn Ross, Amari Rodgers and the entire receiving corps that makes the Tigers’ offense so difficult to stop.
Mattison says Lawrence’s ability to make such tight throws in tiny windows is what makes him unique and special from other quarterbacks, “but the other thing that makes him special is the receivers. The receivers will catch it when it is (behind them). They will catch it when it is (too high), not just when it is right (at the number).
