In the last College Football Playoff semifinal, the Clemson Tigers will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes in the 2021 Sugar Bowl. Standout quarterback Trevor Lawrence is one of the three finalists for the Heisman Trophy and could help Clemson advance to another College Football Playoff National Championship Game. We’ll be tracking his performance in the Sugar Bowl.

Despite missing two games this season because of COVID-19, Lawrence still put up impressive numbers for the Tigers. He completed 69.2 percent of his passes for 2,753 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four interceptions. The junior quarterback also rushed 211 yards and eight touchdowns.

This game is a re-match of last year’s Fiesta Bowl, a 29-23 win for Clemson that many felt Ohio State lost despite playing the better game.
