Said Dabo Swinney on Saturday: "You got the 10 days, but then you have the cardiac part. He (Lawrence) won't be able to get through that in time to play next week."

Naturally, five-star true freshman quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei will receive his second consecutive start next week in South Bend. Uiagalelei finished 30-for-41 passing for 342 yards versus the Eagles in the Tigers' 34-28 win.
