Championships, not individual awards matter most at Clemson

CLEMSON – The trophies that matter the most at Clemson aren’t individual awards. The trophies that matter most in the ultimate team sport are team trophies. Championship trophies.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Travis Etienne were listed on multiple watch lists for the Heisman Trophy to start the season, but through the season’s first four games neither player has put up the eye-popping stats of other players around the country.

Part of the reason? The Clemson coaching staff builds the team for the postseason and that means playing a lot of players across the board.
