2. Trevor Lawrence-Tee Higgins connection was stellar

The performance put on by both Trevor Lawrence and Tee Higgins was impressive and encouraging as the Tigers move forward.

Lawrence threw three touchdown passes to Tee Higgins (4 catches, 64 yards) in the first half and it’s clear the chemistry between the two was elite today.

Higgins made a nice play on a jump-ball in the end zone where he went up and got the ball. Lawrence made some NFL-level throws over the course of this game, completing 21-of-27 passes for 272 yards and four touchdowns.

It was good to see Higgins have this performance after a couple of uncharacteristic drops last week against NC State.

It was also good to see Lawrence continue his impressive streak, though the national media continue to ignore him because of his play earlier in the season.
