Scouting Clemson ahead of the matchup with Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl

Ohio State will be facing Clemson for the second-straight season in the College Football Playoff. Here’s the Sugar Bowl scouting report.

Trevor Lawrence is really good, but he is human believe it or not

I think everyone knows what Trevor Lawrence is capable of at quarterback for the Clemson Tigers. He has a good arm and is quite accurate most of the time. While Trevor can certainly launch a ball and beat a team downfield, he sets up a lot of it by shorter passes to force teams to have to respect the quick routes.

However, his game isn’t without flaws. At times Lawrence stays too long on his first read and will sometimes stay locked in, or “stare down” his receiver. Against Notre Dame, his interception came on the linebacker keying on this and knocking the ball up. This has been the one flaw Lawrence has had during his college career, and while he has gotten a little better, it is something to key on.

Throwing to the sideline is also not Lawrence’s strength as at times he will use the wrong leverage on the pass. Many of his throws to the outside come against zone coverage and he’ll struggle in man-to-man situations if his receiver doesn’t win the battle outright.
