4. Trevor Lawrence’s errant passes

Trevor Lawrence played much better against UNC than he has in the past few games, contrary to what most will believe.

He was basically the lone play-maker for the offense all day, along with Tee Higgins. He made plays with his legs and his arm in critical situations in the first half. Ultimately, Lawrence finished the day with 206 yards and one touchdown passing, as well 45 yards rushing and a touchdown.

However, in the second half, Lawrence missed on several throws that could’ve potentially allowed the Tigers to put the game away earlier.

UNC put pressure on him and it just seemed that he couldn’t get anything going.

Lawrence has not played up to the same level that he showed us in the Alabama game this season. Much of it has to do with him pressing. Either way, he needs to get into a rhythm.
