Lawson is considered Clemson’s best defender and a top NFL prospect. It would be a huge blow to the Tigers if he cannot return.

No Shaq Lawson for Clemson, even if he was to return after halftime, is a game-changer.

Not many more important players in this game than Shaq Lawson. His current absence is enormous.
