The Citadel vs Clemson Preview
Fresh from a 37-13 drubbing of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Lawrence and company are looking to continue building momentum after a slow and unconventional offseason. The Clemson quarterback says he’s not going to force it, though.
“This whole offseason, one of my goals is just to take what the defense gives me, don’t overcomplicate it, don’t try to do too much, and eventually the big plays will come,” Lawrence said. “Our coordinators, our coaches and obviously our playmakers — that stuff is gonna come. So just trust it.”
He has one of the most trustworthy playmakers in college football lining up in the backfield in Travis Etienne, who had 102 yards rushing and a score in last Saturday’s win against Wake Forest. Lawrence, who is a big-time playmaker in his own right, went 22-28 for 351 yards and a touchdown while also running for two scores in the victory.
After a slow start, the Tigers warmed up on both sides of the ball, with the defense also logging an impressive performance. Clemson gave up just 37 yards rushing against the Demon Deacons on 34 attempts, so head coach Brent Thompson and his Citadel team will have their work cut out for them.
“Clemson is as advertised,” Thompson said this week. “And we are going to do our best to compete on their level for as long as we possibly can. We’ll do everything we can to make it a game for them. The last time we played at Clemson, I thought we were a little bit in awe. We have a lot of guys from that area, and you get out there and watch them run down the hill. It took us a little while to settle into the game.”
The game he’s referring to is the 61-3 drubbing the Clemson gave them back in 2017. Citadel will be looking to put a better showing on the field this time, and they’ll also be looking to improve upon their performance last week.
The Bulldogs fell to South Florida, 27-6, mustering just two field goals on offense all game. Senior quarterback Brandon Rainey couldn’t get it going, completing just four of his 18 pass attempts for 84 yards and an interception. He did have 65 yards rushing, which led the team, but he’ll need more help than he had last week if Citadel wants to compete at all.
A reduced capacity of 19,000 people will be in the stands for the game.
