Tigers' Lawson exits Orange Bowl with knee injury

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Clemson All-American defensive end Shaq Lawson exited after injuring his left knee in the first quarter against Oklahoma in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl.

Lawson initially hurt his knee on the first series. He came back on the next series, but appeared to re-injure his knee on a sack of Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield. Lawson had a bag of ice wrapped around his knee, a towel over his head, and was walking gingerly on the sideline during the ensuing drive.
