Trevor Lawrence vs Notre Dame || 2019 Semi Finals Cotton Bowl

here's Trevor Lawrence Trevor Lawrence [Music] Trevor Lawrence just puts so much pressure on a defense because his arm is an NFL caliber arm right now he can make the ball go where he wants it to go accurately anywhere on the field so there's no weak spots in terms of defending him as a passive broke the Shawn Watson's Clemson freshman records fellow Georgian best defensive back won by DeAndre Baker of Georgia the Notre Dame blitz on second and nine Lawrence got away and nearly completed and it's incomplete well Clemson went with an empty backfield so there's only a certain number of guys five that can pressure Notre Dame brought six third and nine for Clemson time for Trevor Lawrence and on tart builder for Troy pride because Julian love is so good teams pick on Troy pride in his last game against some day arrived one year later Notre Dame showing blitz it's a quick pop to T Higgins it he's into Irish territory gain of seven Lawrence to the far side a nice discount for Clemson at the 41 Mari Rogers is a guy that's built like a running back this isn't a great throw by Trevor Lawrence but the strength of Amari Roger and he was as a freshman last year let's off the corner and Lawrence rolled away front knees in trouble gets rid of it in the direction of Lawrence flips it out to etn has the first down well watch John Simpson the left guard does a nice job getting out here getting the lead block all it took was one block for ETN nice job by Simpson there's the block in the first down conversion the 0.88 for his two years at clemson except by lawrence turned around to see the oncoming rush from Jalen Hayes and I think what we've seen on two plays from Trevor Lawrence is the strength because that's two times now that Notre Dame has had pressure in the backfield free rushers that weren't able to get to him seven third and 7 up blitz by Notre Dame in the throw right now one of the stories has just been that Notre Dame has been able to create some pressure on Trevor Lawrence enough to make him uncomfortable a little more extra rushers than they've shown throughout the season they show blitz sometimes they are only bringing four but they've created enough discomfort for Trevor Lawrence that he's four for eight here to start the game and that's going to be important for this Notre Dame deep Dover just north of Boston his ninth year at Notre Dame Trevor Lawrence after the play fake he's a and Kelly of old as you mentioned Sean and I think that is the argument from the Notre Dame standpoint pass safety drue tranquill told us the play of the two safeties has transformed the Notre Dame defense this year that's the free safety Jalen Elliott Tigers have at least 10 career starts third down and seven four minutes to go in the opening quarter warrants on tarnish on third down that results in a first down mark third down just more than four to go Lawrence trying to run away from Dale and Hazel gasps does he chased after but Trevor Lawrence surveyed this is bunched to each side Adam choice remains the running back a deep throw by Lawrence a lot of contact Justin Ross broke free from it he's going to be working on Donte bond that stat formation makes it difficult to get good press coverage and you just throw it up Justin Ross a freshman wide receiver Lawrence the freshman quarterback for Clemson wearing number 16 there's a very good reason it's because of Peyton Manning somebody that he grew up idolizing well a couple of weeks ago he got Peyton Manning's phone number Peyton wanted to talk to him so he said I called them but he didn't answer so I didn't have the courage to leave a message Peyton did call him back though and shared some details of how he goes about preparation what he did asking the start as a freshman and that has really helped Trevor Lawrence who said it was pretty cool very good he's on target of T Higgins here's how sharp Payton is Payton was tipped off that Lawrence is going to call him yeah and he saw the Atlanta Georgia area code phone number of the Clemson area code phone number and said that must be treble if he just dialed the number back knowing is gonna get Trevor you knew when peyton manning was a tennessee he would be a star every NFL person we've talked to thinks this guy when his day comes we'll be the number one player taken in the NFL Draft he is everything you're looking for in a quarterback college or pro out of the tent now but still on the notre dame's sideline on the bike trying to work out an apparent leg injury not on the field for third came in averaging more than eight yards per carry he has three yards per carry five for 15 yards Lawrence's past batted topped in the year as he delivered on what the coach told him that's not easy to do against a six foot six quarterback he's got a high release Jonathan Bonner just timed his jump I wait to go on the half 3rd down 7 they really don't come after Lawrence with much intensity and he fires a bullet for a first down Justin Ross and a lo he Gilman it's a 35 yard play well this is all because of tremendous pass protection that's a deep route it takes time to develop it anywhere near Trevor Lawrence [Applause] and out why again for Ross it's the play in the NFL someday and did not want to have to fulfill the military commitment at the end road to the axons Tampere who plays every down 34 straight starts Lawrence there's Gillman top right of your picture I think it was on the block it wasn't Giuliano quar their best pass rushers still on the sideline as well four-man rush largest Bloomfield Michigan and he just is gonna whip the best offensive lineman that's Mitch Hyatt consensus all-american gets whipped on the play it was a freakin I didn't think Gillman was on the field on that play great for him to be back for this Notre Dame defense second and seven swung out to Ross good job to stay on his feet third down the last third down was that big sack when they were trying to throw and Ogun daeja brought down lawrence lawrence the fake booth he got smoked realized Notre Dame's defense got there so quickly he could not slide it was a good read to pull it but Kony and Gilman were there so quickly he couldn't slide for the first down he had to try to fight for it and he took a hit from Gilman lead in the first half he left the game did not return after going in the concussion protocol he throws on the run the fill all was coming on a blitz he's going to be wide open here but he runs right past it he goes for the play fake loses contain and Trevor Lawrence makes the nice throw to Renfro on the bootleg the law was unblocked but got fooled by the fade from the Clemson 41 Lawrence again this is and see if it loosens up things for Travis ETM doing a quarter back on the defensive line for a Notre Dame look out from behind he hit as he throw it Oh Julian Love Wins I mean if he's out of the game go after his replacement short set four receivers for Trevor Lawrence [Applause] down the same Rasika it's single coverage on a low e Gilman and just gets caught flat-footed and Ross goes right by him Gilman is thinking he's going to break off ship game jail and Hertz replaced him one of the great stories of the years he led Alabama back to the SEC title against Georgia cards Emmas against Northwestern it's gone on the bottom giving up too long touchdown passes today both one timeout for Clemson prevent defense here for Notre Dame a three-man rush and stolen open man Jerry Tillery one of the best defensive lineman in the country it's only a three-man rush so perfect protection for Trevor Lawrence well after the play an easy call to make on Tillery the route he'll run a play again very tentative rush Lawrence lofts it up to the X owed juggling Dante Vaughn actually got a hand on this ball he knocks it up in the air unfortunately he goes up in the air not to the ground and Higgins is able to snag it does he get one foot in with possession unbelievable concentration but catches Renfro 3 Higgins 3 spread the football around and really started to attack that defense down the field Trevor Lawrence three touchdown passes the college football playoff record for semi-final game the previous record was two in a semi-final held by six others performance The Trevor Lawrence in that first half three touchdown passes he found the weak spot they had to take Julian Love out of the game Dante Vaughn came in he's in good position but he fell down at the point of truth and then this time they get Ross runs right by Gilman Trevor Lawrence reads it makes the perfect throw this is a Notre Dame defense coming in and had only given up one touchdown pass of over 20 yards they gave up three in that second quarter as Trevor Lawrence got hot and dice them apart spectacular catch by T Higgins on the third one and the big development Julian love is back in the game now for Notre Dame and immediately at the game change dramatically in the second quarter when he left cleansing on target Lawrence T Higgins tried it below he Gilman finally got him down a gain of 25 see Lawrence reads the line back the linebackers snow sits up on the tight end he throw ball deflected Notre Dame needs a big play from the defender never maintained 12 2015 a Notre Dame blitz Lawrence has time launches one up in the air some kins as the ball is coming to Higgins pretty good coverage I think he's dreaming up close to the right end of warrants whose angel on first and 10 the fake DTN Tony the linebacker flexing in there as well a team Eola is a true freshman number 57 who's Coney here he's been flirting with it he shows blitz sometimes he comes some time he doesn't runs right through etn that force it [Applause] affected the nephew of the great Herschel Walker what kind of comes fluttering [Applause] flushed from the pocket laurence chase again by warrants ran very close to the line of Tavian Feaster the running back now [Applause] long throw by Trevor Lawrence and almost a one-handed believe is one of the great punters in school history captain and a captain and deservedly so he is a very impressed him planting or throwing because I think he's progressed with that is what's it gonna be like the first time he gets hit or the first time he gets hit low on that left leg in the game back on the stage to win the game first team say to spend Stadium 2 at Unga bit lower led to come back in the national championship at the end of last season Jalen Hurd's brought them back against Georgia in the here in the second half low throw by much the after mention number 16 we were chatting just a moment ago Trevor nothing ever seems too big for you a year ago you're watching this game on television getting ready to play in an all-american high school game what was the moment where you felt like I belong and I've arrived in this game on this stage yeah I mean I mean I think even before going on I knew I belong and I thought I belong but I would say the one moment we really picked it up and got role it was part of gotta throw to Justin Ross down the seam first big throw I would say that's when we started we started rolling this is a tight game in the first quarter and then what was the turning point in the second quarter that ignited this offense yeah I'm nothing any big game yes especially this one he had so much time to prepare they did they did some good stuff they played really hard they battled the whole time but they came out with some stuff just had to make adjustments you know I think that's the games like this you gotta make adjustments and that's unless that we do really well you go back to September and you think about Dabo Swinney naming you the starter full-time how do you compare then to this moment one game away from the national championship came a long way but but still the same group of guys you know just from that point I mean same thing so it's just cool to see how everyone's grown and just kind of see how this season's Dawn's been awesome finally a moment ago you looked up and you said where's the confetti why well I thought I'm not doing this one there's a confetti to bowl games I don't know but wait till next week so next one that's when the confetti flies well done truck thank you thank you let's go back to
