The Storylines

Clemson will wrap up the 2020 abbreviated schedule with a rare December regular-season finale against the Virginia Tech Hokies in Blacksburg this evening. Clemson has played 1,218 regular-season games in its 125-season history, posting a 734-439-45 record in those contests. However, only six of those 1,218 regular-season games have been played in the month of December.

Last week marked the return of quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who completed 26-of-37 passes for 403 yards and two touchdowns and no interceptions in his first game action in 5 weeks. The Heisman candidate improved to 32-1 as a starter, tying the Clemson record for wins by a starting quarterback and improving his career winning percentage to .970, the best by an FBS quarterback with at least 30 starts since Division I split in 1978.

Lawrence was trying to get it to Braden Galloway in the back of the endzone and Divine Deablo baited him into throwing a pick and the Tigers come up empty after starting near midfield. Tigers still lead 17-10 with 5:30 to go in the third. This is a strange game.

That pick reminds me of the interception Watson threw against Pitt back in 2016. With a FG, in that one it's OVER....I think tonight would have been just about over with any points there.

Defense needs to make a play here.

The read option for Trevor Lawrence has been working well tonight and he uses it for another rushing touchdown and Clemson extends the lead to 24-10 with 4:45 left in the third quarter.

I was thinking the same thing. Feels like they haven't opened up the playbook

It's a scoop and score for Derion Kendrick as he runs 66 yards the other way for the score after a bad snap for Hendon Hooker, who just re-entered the game for the first time since the first half. Clemson extends the lead to 31-10 with 1:28 to go in the third quarter.

LaVonta Bentley comes up with the sack which ends the Hokie drive and Clemson will take over with a 31-10 lead. Tigers with a chance to put this one away with a score.

Cornell Powell makes up for the drop on the first play of the drive as VT puts 8 in the box and makes the connection from Trevor Lawrence for 65-yard bomb for a touchdown. Tigers are pulling away leading 38-10 with 10:16 to go in the 4th quarter.

Keith Maigure forces another fumble for the Tiger defense, which has been opportunistic tonight creating takeaways and Nyles Pinckney recovers for the Tigers as this one is well in hand with 7:21 to go in the game leading 38-10.

Darien Rencher, who won the Disney Spirit Award earlier this week, scores a 50-yard TD run. What a moment for the senior from Anderson. Clemson up 45-10.

Clemson clinches a spot in the ACC Championship and a rematch with Notre Dame on Dec. 19 at 4 p.m. in Charlotte with a second half surge to defeat Virginia Tech 45-10.

Quick postgame thoughts:
  • Tigers' defense was opportunistic throughout the night forcing 4 turnovers and hopefully James Skalski and a few other guys on defense healthy before the showdown 2 weeks from tonight.
  • With tonight's win, Trevor Lawrence has 33 wins, the most wins by a Clemson starting quarterback and he had a solid night in the run game with two scores with the read option game. Lawrence will get a chance to play in the game he didn't get to against the Fighting Irish.
