COLORS | FULL

Trevor Lawrence wasn’t too shabby either and had some highlight reel plays to show for it. If he can figure out how to cut down on the turnovers like he did on TNF, then Lawrence should be in a great position going forward, but . Hopefully this matchup becomes a yearly expedition because the game was entertaining up until the finish. From the National Championship to TNF as youngsters, this is just the beginning of what could be a decade-defining QB matchup.
