Clemson true freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence took a big hit and did not return because of concussion-like symptoms against Syracuse, according to Clemson's head coach. does not think Lawrence's injury is a bone-related issue.
"He's really doing great," Swinney said. "He actually wanted to come back into the game on Saturday, but with concussion like symptoms. You just don't mess with that. He was trying to come back and play ... you trust your doctors and all that stuff. They shut him down. ... Next guy is up. We'll find a way to do it. I thought he did some really good things in the first half (before the injury)."
Clemson and team doctors will further examine Lawrence's health moving forward, but he felt well enough to celebrate with teammates after the game, Swinney said.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said he would make a change at quarterback when one of his QB's clearly separated himself on the field. That's exactly what happened when Trevor Lawrence picked apart Georgia Tech on Saturday, and the school announced Monday that the freshman would be Tigers' starter going into this week.
This really sucks for Kelly Bryant , but ineffective performance in Saturday’s win at Georgia Tech and a four-touchdown performance by Lawrence necessitates a change in the depth chart.
Bryant completed 6 of 10 passes for 56 yards and a touchdown and rushed four times for five yards on Saturday. Lawrence entered the game early in the second quarter and guided Clemson to five touchdowns in six possessions.
The 6-foot-6 rookie from Cartersville, Georgia, completed 13 of 18 passes for 176 yards and four touchdowns. The bottom line is - at this level you want every one on the team to know, either perform or next man up. I hope that Kelly Bryant can rebound from this and be ready when he gets a chance to step back on the field.
Who should be the starter? I'm asking you the fan. Should Kelly Bryant get another shot or should Trevor Lawrence be the guy the rest of the way?
The Noles defense can play with anyone, but with the young QB James Blackman under center the offense can't seem to get in going on a consistent basis and FSU goes down 31-14.
Travis Etienne rushed for 97 yards and two touchdowns, including a 1-yard burst with 3:05 left.
The Tigers (9-1, 7-1, No. 4 CFP) and their dominant defense looked to have this one wrapped up when they opened a 17-0 lead with two minutes left in the third quarter. But the Seminoles rallied on Jacques Patrick's 9-yard scoring run and a double flea-flicker for a 60-yard TD catch by tight end Ryan Izzo.
Florida State then recovered Kelly Bryant's fumble on the Clemson 40 with 6:46 to go, putting the Seminoles in position to spoil the Tigers' College Football Playoff hopes. But safety Van Smith intercepted James Blackman's pass over the middle on the next play, setting up the TD drive that secured the win for the defending national champions.
Etienne had a 25-yard run to the FSU 5 and took it in two plays later as the chilly Death Valley crowd erupted in celebration of a chance for a third straight ACC title in Charlotte in three weeks.
Cornerback Trayvon Mullen knocked away Blackman's fourth-down pass with 2:13 left to end the Seminoles' comeback hopes.
It's the fifth time in coach Dabo Swinney's nine full seasons that he has taken the Tigers to the conference title game. Clemson will face No. 7 Miami, which won the Coastal Division with Virginia's 38-17 loss to Louisville on Saturday.
For Florida State (3-6, 3-5), it marked its first losing ACC record since 2006. And the Seminoles' landmark streak of 35 straight bowl games is in jeopardy, too - they have three games left against Delaware State, rival Florida and Louisiana-Monroe.
Bryant finished with 151 yards passing. He also rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown. Adam Choice had a 10-yard TD run with 35 seconds left for Clemson's final score.
