Does Trevor Lawrence still have a chance at winning the Heisman Trophy? Of course he does. And I can say that because it’s my honor to vote for the trophy each season. But the Heisman Trophy doesn’t matter to head coach Dabo Swinney. No, the only trophy that matters to Swinney is the one you hoist at the end of the season that says you’re the National Champion.
Lawrence missed two weeks due to COVID, including a high-profile matchup at Notre Dame in early November, and then missed another week when Florida State decided (due to medical concerns) to abandon their home game against the Tigers.
