There is just too much time in between the last game of the regular season and the bowl games. These players become use to a weekly routine and sometimes they don’t know how to act and carry themselves when they have three or four weeks between games. Yesterday, Clemson’s defensive end Shaq Lawson took it upon himself to add a little flame to the fire as his team waits for their Orange Bowl game against Oklahoma. According to LarryBrownSports.com Lawson served as a 1-man army when he decided to walk on Oklahoma’s team bus to trash talk his opponents.
Dusty Dvoracek just tells us on @MorningAnimals that Shaq Lawson jumped on #Sooners bus and talked trash to entire team yesterday.

OU and Clemson were at a luncheon yesterday. Two teams together and no security was provided. No punches thrown but some pushing and shoving

Told Striker and Darlington kept players from going after Lawson but Devante Bond was throwing people out of the way trying to get to him.

Things could have been much worst than just words being exchanged. Lawson and Charles Tapper also threw some social media jabs at each over on Facebook.
There have been some Shaq Lawson/Charles Tapper exchanges on Twitter since they've been in South Florida. pic.twitter.com/izfBd12vEy

I’m glad there were no punches thrown and no suspensions handed out because I’m really looking forward to the matchup between these two teams.
