Etienne had 20 carries for 84 yards and Clemson allowed 28 points in the first half.
What games are you guys watching? Nobody thinks that Uiagalelei is better than Lawrence, but he
is better than 95% of QBs in college football right now. The only schools that he wouldn’t start for today are Ohio State, Florida, Alabama, Clemson of course, and
maybe North Carolina. Every other school in the country would kill to get D.J.
But since you guys are dead set on comparing DJ to Lawrence, in TLaws first start against Syracuse in 2018 he was 17-29 for 176 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT, and 2 lost fumbles. Clemson barely beat Syracuse at home 27-23. In DJs only 2 starts he’s thrown for over 340 yards both games with 3 TDs and 0 INTs. It took Lawrence 3 games to break 340 and he only did it 4 times in the 11 games he started. Lawrence also had 17(!!!) turnovers his freshman year.
It’s no surprise DJ as a true freshman isn’t as good as Lawrence as a junior with over 30 starts under his belt. But DJ is
not the reason Clemson lost to Notre Dame. Might have Clemson beaten them with Lawrence at QB? Maybe. But they very easily could have beaten them with DJ playing as well. It’s a team game you know.
