OT: Heisman candidate and projected #1 overall pick Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence tests positive for COVID-19
October 29th, 2020 at 8:34 PM ^
get well soon
October 29th, 2020 at 9:45 PM ^
Or, just take 2 more tests with negative results, proving the first is just a falsie. You know, like Nick
October 29th, 2020 at 8:43 PM ^
That chin!
October 29th, 2020 at 8:37 PM ^
They'll probably be fine this week vs BC but they have ND next week so who knows after that, it may derail his Heisman hopes depending on if the few other players behind him continue to impress and rise above in his absence
October 29th, 2020 at 9:04 PM ^
DJ Uiagalelei is apparently the heir apparent there and is the real deal
October 29th, 2020 at 9:39 PM ^
DJ Ukulele
October 29th, 2020 at 9:06 PM ^
Advantage Justin Fields
October 29th, 2020 at 9:34 PM ^
He’ll play next week and that’ll bolster his Heisman case (overcame COVID on way to national title).
October 29th, 2020 at 8:38 PM ^
Dang it, they play Notre Dame the next weekend and I wanted him to curb stomp the Irish.
October 29th, 2020 at 8:38 PM ^
It was Ryan Day. He sent a pigeon carrier infected with Covid to Trevors dorm room in hopes Clemson would lose a game and they wouldn’t have to face him in the playoffs.
*insert Alex Jones tinfoil hat gif here*
October 29th, 2020 at 9:23 PM ^
Earlier in the year I donned the aluminum-foil hat and openly speculated that Clemson, LSU, et al. would encourage their players to get COVID-19 early to avoid ruining the season. Another good conspiracy down the drain ...
October 29th, 2020 at 9:49 PM ^
I admire you thinking that Clemson would be left out of the playoff for losing a game.
October 29th, 2020 at 8:39 PM ^
Just a 24 hour quarantine period south of the mason-dixon so he'll be good to go on Saturday.
October 29th, 2020 at 8:43 PM ^
I believe the ACC rule is that they must sit for 10 days. So Trevor would miss the Boston College and Notre Dame games.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:05 PM ^
False: He's actually required to open-mouth kiss all of his teammates whenever possible.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:16 PM ^
Hmmm... Clemson just said that if there’s no complications that he’s eligible to play vs Notre Dame. So either it’s not 10 days, or maybe the test was a day or two ago.
October 29th, 2020 at 8:43 PM ^
Gonna be hilarious when they stomp ND 50-13 with the backup QB.
October 29th, 2020 at 8:50 PM ^
They are down to a freshman. ND is going to win.
October 29th, 2020 at 8:56 PM ^
The 6’6 245 consensus 5 star? Yeah you never know but with all that talent and no crowd I think he’ll be just fine
October 29th, 2020 at 9:02 PM ^
DJ Uiagalelei, saw him play live his junior year with Bosco vs senior Zach Charbonnet. He's a beast.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:10 PM ^
Line was 15.5 before the news, 7.5 now. Vegas agrees that Clemson is still much better.
October 29th, 2020 at 8:56 PM ^
Louisville almost beat them at ND with a bunch of JV players from the high school down the road from my house.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:31 PM ^
Trinity manual or st x? Doesn’t matter just trying to figure out where you live.
October 29th, 2020 at 8:58 PM ^
This is pretty close to the same Notre Dame team that got demolished, in a driving rainstorm, by a team that had Shea Patterson playing quarterback.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:04 PM ^
Yeah Clemson could never win a big game with a true freshman starting QB.
Looks back at Lawrence winning the title as a true freshman...
October 29th, 2020 at 9:20 PM ^
Clemson still has a lights-out defense right? Lawrence may be the catalyst but that team is stacked enough at pretty much every position (including QB) to run ND out of their own stadium.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:56 PM ^
The rest of Clemson is pretty dang good. Clemson's D may be better than UGA's and ND couldn't do anything against them twice. Clemson might only win by 10, but they'll still win.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:28 PM ^
I'll take that bet and I hate the Irish more than Ohio State.
October 29th, 2020 at 8:43 PM ^
Shoot probably too late to get BC covering this week
October 29th, 2020 at 8:47 PM ^
yeah my book took it off the board just now
October 29th, 2020 at 8:47 PM ^
Trying to avoid the Jets. Smart man
October 29th, 2020 at 8:53 PM ^
Wishing him well.
October 29th, 2020 at 8:58 PM ^
Oh man, Dabo is gonna be so pissed he didn’t catch it during the summer like he was supposed to.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:01 PM ^
Dabo must have missed giving him the covid back in June when they had 28 players test positive. Time to reload with the next 5* up to bat and Lawrence will return in just 10 days.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:06 PM ^
Oh THAT Trevor Lawrence. Good title.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:06 PM ^
It’s okay. They have their very own 5-star, top 10 version of Joe Milton as backup.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:08 PM ^
Oops
Real question is how many at Clemson will test positive. We have learned anything anything the past few weeks is that Clemson will have more cases
October 29th, 2020 at 9:09 PM ^
a stupid season.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:11 PM ^
I hope she's going to be ok.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:13 PM ^
Is Ostarine not a therapeutic for COVID?
October 29th, 2020 at 9:14 PM ^
I love Trevor Lawrence. I hope he's back soon, no worse for wear.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:23 PM ^
Their backup QB is supposedly quite good, and they are talented enough that I would think Clemson can weather this well enough. Hopefully, all is well for Lawrence and he returns as soon as he is able and cleared.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:43 PM ^
I'm sure Clemson will survive against BC but this is going to keep happening.
October 29th, 2020 at 9:47 PM ^
Well, I don’t suppose this news will make any headlines
October 29th, 2020 at 9:58 PM ^
I wonder how Finebaum will try to blame the B1G for this one.
October 29th, 2020 at 10:32 PM ^
I wonder how Finebaum will try to blame Harbaugh for this one. FIFY.
October 29th, 2020 at 10:20 PM ^
Put Joe Milton in bubble wrap, and then in a hyperbaric chamber.
October 29th, 2020 at 10:45 PM ^
This is the type of news that could lead to shutting everything down.
