4. Can Lawrence-Etienne exceed expectations?

The expectations for Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne are through the roof as the 2019 season inches closer to kickoff.

Both Lawrence and Etienne are listed as Heisman contenders and they’re both considered to be one of the best at their position.

Can they exceed expectations in 2019?

With potentials as high as we’ve seen, it’s going to be interesting to see how Lawrence (a sophomore) and Etienne (a junior) handle being spotlighted by the national media every single week. To an extent, they’ve already had that exposure, but it’s my opinion that it will be kicked up another notch this season.
