Trevor Lawrence was sporting some new facial hair during Friday's Sugar Bowl.
One reporter was apparently not a fan, and, unfortunately, she accidentally let the Clemson Tigers quarterback hear it.
Following Clemson's 49-28 blowout loss to Justin Fields and the No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes in Friday's Sugar Bowl, the unidentified journalist suffered her major mishap during a postgame press conference hosted over Zoom. When she weighed on Lawrence's facial hair out loud — presumably intended for someone in the room with her — she was likely horrified to discover she had forgotten to mute her microphone.
"Poor Trevor needs to shave his 'stache," the reporter said.
The person leading the media availability requested that everyone on the call mute themselves, but it was too late. The Tigers' star quarterback heard the remark, reacting with a tight-lipped smirk and, later, a chuckle.
"Uh... thank you," he responded with a smile.
WLTX sports anchor Chandler Mack caught and recorded the awkward moment. He shared a clip on Twitter, which has been viewed more than two million times as of Monday.
