The previous Clemson star had only one field objective to show for eight drives in his initial two presentation games. Lawrence changed that rapidly four days after Meyer named him the starter, and a day after the Jaguars exchanged likely reinforcement and fan most loved Gardner Minshew.
Pharoh Cooper got Lawrence’s first TD throw on the initial belonging for Jacksonville, a 18-yarder on the sideline in the end zone that was set up by a 38-yard toe-hauling get from Phillip Dorsett II. After a short score run from Carlos Hyde was gotten back to by a holding punishment, Lawrence associated with Laviska Shenault Jr for a 14-0 lead right off the bat in the subsequent quarter.
