College football: No. 3 Clemson routs No. 2 Notre Dame in ACC title game

LA Times  

Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence passed for 322 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 90 yards and a score as the No. Trevor Lawrence had 412 yards of offense and three touchdowns, Travis Etienne ran for 124 yards and a score, and Clemson dominated Notre Dame 34-10 on Saturday to win its sixth straight Atlantic Coast Conference championship. “I know that has become a stat award, but if you watch and you don’t know this is the best player in the country, I don’t what you’re looking at.” Clemson allowed Notre Dame to pile up 518 yards in the previous meeting but limited the Fighting Irish to 263 yards Saturday and sacked quarterback Ian Book six times. Clemson’s secondary put the clamps on Notre Dame’s wide receivers, and running back Tyren Williams was limited to 49 yards rushing after finishing with 140 yards on the ground and three TDs in the first game. After Clemson stopped Notre Dame on a key fourth and three, 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 — Notre Dame’s largest deficit of the season.
