The star quarterback and Heisman favorite completed 8 of 9 passes for 168 yards and three touchdowns against The Citadel. He also rushed for a touchdown. Lawrence's only incomplete pass was a drop by Amari Rodgers, and through two games he has thrown one inaccurate pass all year. Other incompletions were due to a receiver slipping, drops, etc. For the season Lawrence is 30 of 37 passing for 519 yards, with four touchdowns and no interceptions. He also has three rushing scores. "He's really playing exactly the way he's practicing. What you're seeing on game day is exactly what we see in practice, just incredible focus," Swinney said. "Complete ownership of what we're doing. Great poise, discipline. Great feel for the defensive structures and protections and just really throwing the ball with a lot of confidence. He's special. He's a joy to watch." - The State

09/23/20 - Travis Etienne, Sr/2021, Clemson, 5-10, 215 (DS#2 RB) + More +

The Tigers' star running back was given one opportunity to return a punt against The Citadel and he made the most of it, going 44 yards to set up a Clemson touchdown. Etienne is as dangerous as anyone in college football with the ball in his hands, and he showed why during his punt return, juking and dodging would-be tacklers. Etienne could be a nightmare for opposing special teams coaches to defend against, and he could also help his draft stock by showing off his versatility. It's "something he's been working on really all fall camp and kind of earning my trust a little bit. I wanted to get him a live rep. It's just another opportunity for him to touch it," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "He did a great job. That's a good option for us moving forward to know he can not only be a kick returner guy but a punt return guy as well if we need him. That puts a lot of pressure on people." - The State

09/23/20 - Ruke Orhorhoro, rSr/2024, Clemson, 6-4, 294 (DS#6 DT) + More +

Clemson defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro will be out for the next few months after being injured in the season opener against Wake Forest. Swinney said Orhorhoro suffered a meniscus injury against the Demon Deacons and will not be back until December. The sophomore was listed as the backup to Tyler Davis entering the season. He was credited with a quarterback pressure against Wake Forest. "Once they got in there they had to repair it, so he's going to be out a little longer than we hoped," Swinney said of Orhorhoro. "We think he'll be back in December....We play Virginia Tech, and if we're fortunate enough to get to the (ACC) championship game we hope to have him back and ready by then and any postseason type play." Orhorhoro played in 10 games last season, recording five tackles, including 1.5 for loss. He signed with Clemson as a three-star prospect for the class of 2019. - The State

09/19/20 - *Trevor Lawrence, Jr/2021, Clemson, 6-6, 213 (DS#1 QB) + More +

Trevor Lawrence threw nine passes Saturday. Three of them went for touchdowns. It was that kind of day for No. 1 Clemson. Lawrence and star running back Travis Etienne got plenty of rest as the top-ranked Tigers rolled to a 49-0 victory over The Citadel. Lawrence was 8 for 9 for 168 yards, including first-half scoring passes of 54 and 17 yards to Frank Ladson Jr. and 44 yards to Amari Rodgers. "Might have been my most efficient day since I've been here," he said. "That was just fun." Lawrence also rushed for his third TD already this season, leading the way as the Tigers (2-0) improved to 35-0 against teams from the Football Championship Subdivision.

Clemson came out fast, stayed sharp and played just about everybody available in the runaway victory. "Good to see that maturity and leadership, no matter who we play," coach Dabo Swinney said. Lawrence missed his first throw - Rodgers dropped a ball that hit his hands - before hitting his last eight. The Heisman Trophy favorite was largely done when Clemson went up 28-0 in the first quarter. He returned for one second-quarter series and quickly added points with a perfectly thrown pass down the left side to Ladson. "It was good for us to take care of business early and build depth," Lawrence said. - Clemson/AP College Football

09/16/20 - *Myles Murphy, Jr/2023, Clemson, 6-5, 268 (DS#4 DE) + More +

For the past four years, Joe Gerda watched Myles Murphy dominate on the high school level. Gerda was Murphy's defensive line coach at Hillgrove High School in Georgia and watched the soft-spoken defensive end become the school's latest superstar. Hillgrove produced current NFL players Bradley Chubb (Cleveland Browns), Evan Engram (New York Giants) and Kenyan Drake (Arizona Cardinals). But Gerda wasn't sure what to expect when he turned on the TV Saturday to watch Murphy in his Clemson debut against Wake Forest. The 6-foot-5, 275-pound Murphy was that same dominant player Gerda watched so many times, leading the Tigers with seven tackles (three for loss) and two sacks in the 37-13 victory. "I was very surprised to see the stat line," Gerda said. "His ability to get rid of blocks so quickly at the college level was a surprise to me. He was always able to do that at the high school level. He was a man among boys. But to do it against Wake Forest and grown men is pretty impressive." Murphy, who talked with reporters this week for the first time since arriving at Clemson in January, admitted he had first-game jitters, but they went away after the first few plays. He played 29 snaps, fourth most along the Tigers' defensive line Saturday. "The first drive I was nervous. After you make first contact on the field, it gets out of your body," Murphy said. "The rest of the game felt like high school ball and doing what I do on the field." - The State

09/16/20 - Tyler Davis, rSr/2024, Clemson, 6-2, 301 (DS#16 DT) + More +

Dabo Swinney provided an update on several Clemson defenders who either missed Saturday's game against Wake Forest or were injured during it during his weekly press conference on Tuesday. Defensive tackles Tyler Davis and Ruke Orhorhoro were banged up in Clemson's 37-13 victory and received MRIs over the weekend. Davis, an all-ACC selection, suffered a sprained MCL against Wake Forest and Tigers coach Dabo Swinney is hopeful Clemson will "get him back here sooner than later." Davis will miss Saturday's game against The Citadel but Swinney said he could be back by early October. He added that Davis has a similar injury to the one that kept running back Lyn-J Dixon out this past weekend against Wake Forest. "He's just got a little sprain on his MCL. Very similar to Lyn-J. Hopefully not as bad as Lyn-J's," Swinney said. "It sets up good for him. Obviously he's out this week, but we've got an open date coming up. We'll hope for Virginia and see what happens." - The State

09/15/20 - Braden Galloway, Sr/2022, Clemson, 6-4, 239 (DS#19 TE) + More +

While Clemson's receivers didn't have their best night, the tight ends came to play. Braden Galloway had five catches for 60 yards, Davis Allen caught one pass for 42 yards and J.C. Chalk caught a 12-yard touchdown, the first of his career. The lack of a pass-catcher at tight end has been noticeable in Clemson's offense the past couple of years. Before Saturday, the Tigers had not had a tight end catch a touchdown since 2018. With linebackers forced to focus on Travis Etienne and Clemson's running game, Tigers tight ends should have plenty of opportunities throughout the season. - The State

09/13/20 - *Bryan Bresee, rSo/2023, Clemson, 6-6, 302 (DS#2 DT) + More +

Bryan Bresee and Myles Murphy were key parts of Clemson's highly touted 2020 recruiting class. They showed why Saturday. The two freshmen and future cornerstones of the Tigers' defense shined in their first college games as Clemson defeated Wake Forest 37-13. Bresee, a defensive tackle who was ranked as the nation's top recruit, showed both the nerves of a freshman and his playmaking ability in Clemson's first series. He jumped offsides on the third play but had a half-sack of Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman two plays later. Bresee also blocked a kick and finished with two tackles, one for loss. "Like a big puppy dog, Labrador letting him outside for the first time and bring him home for the first time and he is wetting himself all over the place," Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. "Offside on the first series. Classic. But he has done well. Older guys, they are excited about him. Bryan did the same things tonight since he has gotten here last spring." - The State

Murphy, a defensive end the No. 7 prospect in the country, led the team with seven tackles - three of those for loss - and two sacks. He was the first Clemson true freshman to record multiple sacks in a game since Dexter Lawrence against Virginia Tech in the 2016 ACC Championship. "Bresee and Myles Murphy showed up pretty quick and I expected that," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. There have been high expectations for Bresee and Murphy since they arrived on campus in January. The two were part of the 2020 Tigers' recruiting class ranked No. 3 by 247Sports Composite and one that Swinney called a "special group" on early signing day back in December. - The State

Trevor Lawrence and top-ranked Clemson racked up another dominating win against Wake Forest. Lawrence threw for 351 yards and combined for three touchdowns, and No. 1 Clemson continued its dominance over Wake Forest with a 37-13 victory night in the season opener for both teams. Trevor Etienne ran for 102 yards and a touchdown for Clemson, which improved to 70-5 since the start of the 2015 season under coach Dabo Swinney. Clemson has now outscored Wake Forest 152-19 over the last three seasons, holding the Demon Deacons to just one touchdown. The Tigers have won 12 straight against Wake Forest. - AP College Football

Trevor Lawrence threw for 351 yards and combined for three touchdowns, and No. 1 Clemson continued its domination of Wake Forest with a 37-13 victory on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams. Trevor Etienne ran for 102 yards and a touchdown for Clemson, which improved to 70-5 since the start of the 2015 season under coach Dabo Swinney. Clemson has now outscored Wake Forest 152-19 over the last three seasons, holding the Demon Deacons to just one touchdown. Clemson is looking to win its sixth straight Atlantic Coast Conference title and reach the College Football Playoff national championship game for the fifth time in the six seasons. The last time the Tigers were on the field they lost 42-25 loss to LSU in which Lawrence was held without a touchdown pass. But the Heisman Trophy hopeful looked in solid form against the Demon Deacons. After going three-and-out on its first drive, Clemson scored on its next three possessions, including a pair of short walk-in touchdowns by Lawrence to take a 17-0 lead. On both occasions, the Demon Deacons sold out on the fake handoff to Etienne, allowing Lawrence a free path to the end zone. Lawrence's passes were on the mark for the most part, as he completed 22 of 28 passes. He spread the ball around to eight different receivers in the first half alone as Clemson took a 27-0 lead. - Clemson/AP College Football

09/09/20 - Justyn Ross, rSr/2022, Clemson, 6-4, 210 (DS#35 WR) + More +

For this week's game, the only players who have officially been ruled out are defensive end Xavier Thomas, receiver Justyn Ross and tight end Luke Price. Clemson is hoping to get Thomas back for a portion of this season after he battled COVID-19 and strep throat this summer. Ross and Price are both out for the year after suffering season-ending injuries. Starting defensive end Justin Foster and backup running back Lyn-J Dixon are among the other players who missed time during fall camp. Their status for this weekend has yet to be revealed. The loss of Foster for an extended period of time would be a big one for the Tigers as Thomas, Foster and Logan Rudolph split time starting at defensive end last season. Rudolph gave up football this offseason to focus on acting. "Justin has been here every day and is working hard and getting better," Swinney said last week. "He has been limited but hopefully he's making some good progress and will be with us here soon." - The State

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence continues to use his platform to fight racial injustice. Lawrence and several players from around the country posted a statement on behalf of all college football players to Twitter on Sunday afternoon that included a "five-point plan of actionable steps to create real change." Other players to join Lawrence in posting the statement include Tigers running back Darien Rencher, Stanford defensive lineman Dylan Boles and Michigan defensive back Hunter Reynolds. - The State
