Clemson began the season with a quarterback who took the Tigers to the College Football Playoff last year and a freshman signal-caller so prized he was expected to share snaps. Then their season faced crisis when neither of them was available midway through Saturday’s game against Syracuse. This week, coach Dabo Swinney made a decision that upended the team’s quarterback room and backfired twice over the course of the week. He announced Trevor Lawrence, the freshman, would be Clemson’s starter going forward.
