Clemson coach: QB Lawrence doing ‘great,’ no new positives Athletic director: Wisconsin has 22 positive COVID-19 cases
CLEMSON, S.C. – Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence is doing “great” in isolation and the top-ranked Tigers had no additional COVID-19 cases since Lawrence’s positive test, coach Dabo Swinney said Saturday.
Swinney spoke on ESPN’S “College Gameday” before No. 1 Clemson kicked off against Boston College.
Lawrence and the school revealed his positive test on Thursday night. Freshman backup DJ Uiagalelei will make his first college start with Lawrence sidelined.
The Tigers had their latest round of coronavirus testing on Friday. Swinney said Lawrence spoke to the team that day via Zoom.
MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez says the total number of positive COVID-19 cases within the Badgers’ football program has increased to 22.
Alvarez told ESPN’S “College GameDay” on Saturday that 12 football players and 10 staffers have tested positive. Alvarez said school officials would decide Tuesday whether to go ahead with the ninth-ranked Badgers’ scheduled Nov. 7 home game with Purdue.
“We’re still having additions in our cases, and that’s something we’ve got to get our arms around and control it,” Alvarez said.
The Badgers (1-0) had been scheduled to play at Nebraska (0-1) on Saturday, but Wisconsin officials announced Wednesday they were calling off that game and pausing team activities for a week due to a coronavirus outbreak within the program. The Wisconsin-nebraska game won’t be rescheduled.
