So about that CFP championship game...At first, I felt like Alabama was underperforming. But throughout the game, I started to take notice of something - Clemson's passing ability. It looked like Clemson had it figured out. But actually, there was a player by the name of Trevor Lawrence. He is a true freshman at Clemson...and possibly the next football star.
Clemson got extremely lucky to have recruited such a player. After all, he's from Tennessee and attended high school in Georgia. 19 years old, and he led his team to a historical defeat in the championship for his first season.
Yes, Clemson played well. But I think we're seeing a Cam Newton style situation. Without Cam, Auburn would've been unlikely to have gone so far. Considering this recruit being on the field, I think Alabama actually did quite well. There still managed to keep Clemson held down at times. During the regular season, Clemson was coming out with scores of 40+, even reaching 77 points in a single game against Florida State. The game wasn't simply handed over...despite how it may have looked.
I've never shown interest in any other football players outside of Alabama. I like to think that Lawrence isn't truly Clemson anyway. After this season, he could probably go anywhere he likes.
As a senior in high school, he broke the Georgia state record for passing yards & touchdowns. I knew there had to be more to their passing game than good teamwork...
6'6", 215 lbs, and one smooth throw. Fellas, meet Trevor "Football" Lawrence. I hope he makes it big so I can keep up without having to give Clemson any of my support o.o
But he's only a freshman. So for now, he is the enemy and I hope his football ends up deflated! #CFP #Alabama #Football #Clemson #NCAA #TLawrence #HesitativeCongrats
