Clemson took control from the start to take a key divisional game over NC State in dominating fashion Saturday.
This season the ‘Second Look’ features the TigerNet staff grading Clemson as a group and offering some different perspectives on the action each week. Here’s our look at game seven as Clemson started the second half of the regular season with a bang
Offense
NC State dared Clemson to throw it - and Trevor Lawrence did just that to move the chains effectively.
After running through the previous four opponents, one of the better run defenses on Clemson’s schedule repeatedly stacked the box and Lawrence adjusted - particularly effective in throws to sideline and finding big-body targets Tee Higgins (eight catches for 119 yards, TD) and Justyn Ross (five catches for 75 yards) over the middle for big plays.
