1. National Championship

Here’s the thing that has to happen and it’s pretty easy to understand.

We judge quarterbacks by their winning, for good or for bad. Lawrence has a 15-0 season with a National Championship and a 14-1 season with a National Championship appearance under his belt.

If he were to lead the Tigers to a third-straight National Title appearance and win the golden scepter, he would be the only QB in the history of the program to win two National Championships.

He would join a small group of College Football QBs all-time to have accomplished the feat and would’ve done it in just three years.

Next. 5 Tigers who must step up in Justyn Ross's absence. dark

Can Trevor Lawrence somehow surpass Deshaun Watson? It remains to be seen, but these are the things we’ll be looking for heading into his final season with the Tigers.
