Clemson Football: Lawrence, Etienne combine for lethal backfield

Pick your poison.

That’s the nature of the game for opposing defenses when they attempt to stop the 2019 Clemson football offense.

The Tigers are led by two of the nation’s best in Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne. Depending on who you listen to, Lawrence is rated as either the No. 1 or No. 2 quarterback in the nation and Etienne is listed as the No. 1 or No. 2 running back in the nation.

No other program in the nation has a backfield with as much talent as Clemson football.

When you look at that backfield, it’s clear that opposing defenses are going to have to pick their poison in 2019.
