Trevor Lawrence and Clemson did not waste any time turning Saturday's contest against The Citadel into a blowout.
Lawrence accounted for three first-quarter touchdowns and the Tigers scored 49 first-half points on their way to a 49-0 win in their lone nonconference game of the 2020 season. ACC schools will play 10 league games and one out-of-conference contest in a schedule reconfigured because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The game amounted to little more than a glorified scrimmage for Clemson, a massive favorite that sat its starters in the second half.
Lawrence threw for 168 yards and three touchdowns, adding a two-yard rushing score.
