“#Trevor Lawrence, Clemson dismantle Notre Dame to win ACC title<\/strong>”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2014 After a heartbreaking 47-40 double-overtime loss to Notre Dame last month, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney assured his players in the locker room that there would be no trophy handed out that night.<\/p>\n

There would, however, be one up for grabs when they got to Charlotte for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Tigers haven\u2019t blinked since, staying focused on their goal. On Saturday they collected the hardware \u2014 again.<\/p>\n

Trevor Lawrence had 412 yards of offense and three touchdowns, Travis Etienne ran for 124 yards and a score and No. 4 Clemson dominated No. 2 Notre Dame 34-10 on Saturday to win its sixth straight ACC title.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll we had to do was take care of business after that,\u201d Lawrence said about the loss in South Bend. \u201cWe remember fans running off the field and getting in our face. You remember those images and keep those things in your head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lawrence, who didn\u2019t play in the first meeting because the coronavirus, threw long scoring passes to Amari Rodgers and E.J Williams in the first half to help the Tigers (10-1) lock up a spot in the College Football Playoff for the sixth straight season.<\/p>\n

Lawrence, the game MVP and presumptive No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, overcame an early interception on a tipped ball to complete 25 of 36 passes for 322 yards. He ran 14 times for 90 yards, with a 34-yard touchdown scamper.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis ability to run really stresses your coverage calls,\u201d Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. \u201c\u2026 So what you try to do is bring some pressures that eliminate those runs. It just opens up some 1-on-1 matchups that are not favorable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The junior quarterback did it all, even throwing a block to spring Etienne for a 15-yard gain on a third-down run late in the second quarter leading to a touchdown and a 24-3 halftime lead.<\/p>\n

Clemson has won all nine games Lawrence has started by at least 18 points and their average margin of victory in those games is 33.6 points.<\/p>\n

Swinney called Lawrence the best player in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be a crying shame if the Heisman didn\u2019t attach their name to Trevor Lawrence,\u201d Swinney said. \u201cI know that has become a stat award, but if you watch and you don\u2019t know this is the best player in the country, I don\u2019t what you\u2019re looking at.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodgers had eight catches for 121 yards, and Williams added four for 80 yards including a dynamic one-handed grab where he reached behind his head to snag the ball.<\/p>\n

The momentum changed late in the first quarter when Notre Dame kicker Jonathan Doerer, who had converted an ACC title-game record 51-yard field goal on the game\u2019s opening drive, clanked a 21-yard attempt off the right upright.<\/p>\n

The Tigers quickly capitalized when Rodgers got cornerback Shaun Crawford to bite on a double move and hauled in a perfectly thrown pass from Lawrence for a 67-yard strike, the first of four straight scoring drives to close the first half.<\/p>\n

After Clemson stopped Notre Dame on a key fourth-and-3, Lawrence moved the Tigers 72 yards in six plays, showing his pocket awareness by stepping up to avoid pressure and buy enough time to find Williams on a crossing route for a 33-yard score and a 14-3 lead \u2014 Notre Dame\u2019s largest deficit of the season.<\/p>\n

Etienne broke it open when he took a handoff, slipped an ankle tackle and raced 44 yards for a touchdown on fourth-and-1 for a 24-3 lead with 21 seconds left in the first half.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe let the second quarter get away from us, and that was the difference in the game,\u201d Kelly said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
