Is Dabo Swinney cheating Trevor Lawrence out of the Heisman Trophy?

The defense was the team’s catalyst to the College Football Playoff (CFP) as evidenced by three players taken in the first-round of the annual college NFL draft. But the offense was just as significant.

But while Trevor Lawrence remains a Tiger, there are situations that can help his draft status.
