Trevor Lawrence of the Clemson Tigers had his heart broken when the team lost to the LSU Tigers [VIDEO]during the College Football Playoff national championship game. Even with his impressive record during the season, some fans blamed him for the defeat.
Lawrence got outshined by Heisman Trophy winner and LSU quarterback Joe Burrow during the game. The latter achieved a total of 463 yards passing and five touchdowns without even registering a turnover. A lot of Clemson fans think that Lawrence was off his game during the national championship match.
Even he admitted it as such, saying that some of his throws did not hit their mark. As the team’s top player, he is being blamed for the loss.
What some fans are forgetting, however, is the fact that it is Lawrence’s first time to lose in his college career. He will have plenty of opportunities to make up for the defeat in the next season.

New mascot costume for Clemson?
In other related news, an LSU Tigers fan has made headlines for proposing to have a new mascot costume for Clemson. Dion Grossnickle, a massive fan of the LSU Tigers, started a GoFundMe effort to help Clemson purchase a new costume for its mascot.
In the GoFundMe page, Grossnickle wrote that the current mascot costume looks like something that was from “clearance rack from TG&Y in 1981.”
TG&Y was a chain of stores that housed a variety of inexpensive household and personal goods. It closed down back in 2001. It looks like Grossnickle is not the only person who dislikes Clemson’s mascot. The GoFundMe effort has already reached its $1,000 goal. It achieved the goal in less than a day. All funds raised will be sent to the Clemson University Athletic Department. Stay tuned for more news and updates on Clemson Tigers.
