WATCH: Clemson players recap 38-7 win over Georgia Southern

TREVOR LAWRENCE

On team’s offensive performance:

“We ended up finishing well. We stalled on a few drives but, for the most part, we moved the ball well. We are trying to get better in all areas. We are focusing on more specific plays and are trying to be more consistent.”

On skilled receiving core:

“It’s nice to have good wide receivers. I know that if I don’t throw a perfect pass, and it’s a little bit off, they’ll still catch it. We have really great receivers making plays for us. Everyone on the field is a great player, and I can go anywhere with the ball at anytime.”

On personal growth through first three games:

“I feel like I have matured a bit, as far as handling situations goes. Individually, I feel more confident now that I’ve played a home and an away game.”

On performance of Travis Etienne:

“He played really well. He ran hard and ran tough. He was very explosive, so that was awesome.”

JUSTIN ROSS

The long touchdown:

“I was so anxious to get in there. I was doing anything I can to get to the touchdown so when I saw it, and I saw somebody coming in from behind me, I just had to make a move.”

Did he expect to be that open:

“I think my route opened me up a little bit and Trevor found me so fast so I was open anyway, so I just had a lot of times to make some moves.”

When you’re not the guy that’s getting the ball, downfield blocking and those things, how do you keep yourself up for those big moments:

“I wanna see all my teammates eat. I wanna see all my teammates be able to do something great so always doing my best to block for them.”

On the two high safety look:

“We did a good job of watching film. They switched it up a little bit when they played that little Cover 2 but we adjusted really good as a team.”

TRAVIS ETIENNE

On his career-best game:

“I feel like, as a running back, the results were a reflection of my [offensive] line. The line did a great job, and the receivers really did a great job of blocking. That really helps the back, and we really need that to be successful.”

On splitting time with other RBs:

“I feel like we all complement each other. We can do different things with the ball and, when we rotate, we are all fresh and play our best.”

On his offensive production:

“Yardage-wise, this was one of [my] best games, but I still think about the things I didn’t do. Technique-wise, it might not have been my best game, but when it comes to yards, it was.”

AUSTIN BRYANT

On the game:

“We know what we’re capable of, but we just had to go out there and do it for four quarters. We played well last week; in the first half, we were lights out. We kind of fell asleep in the second half. Today, we just wanted to prove that we could play a full game and be dominant for four quarters.”

On facing Georgia Southern’s offense:

“It’s always tough getting ready for a new opponent, especially the offense that Georgia Southern runs. That option offense isn’t easy to defend. Every option team doesn’t look the same. Furman’s [offense] is different from Georgia Southern’s [offense]. It’s a challenge each week to play those option teams, but we were locked in in our preparation this week, and I think it shows.”

On whether the time change was a distraction:

“Not really. We could have played on Thursday at four in the morning. It [doesn’t] matter.”

CLELIN FERRELL

On team’s defensive performance:

“We had a successful game against the triple option. Obviously, that’s the second time that we’ve played against something like that. It is going to give us great momentum going in against Georgia Tech.”

On building the team’s confidence:

“Your confidence can only go up when you play well. I guess it helped us as a defense that we feel like we played well. As a team, I feel like we’ve definitely gotten better, but we still have a long way to go. It was good to go out there and see a lot of great improvements against a team like this.

“We’re through the first quarter of the season. Now we are starting ACC play, which is going to be huge. We are on to our next goal, which is to win the division so we are hoping to get started on that coming up.”
