Can Etienne be the best running back Clemson has ever had?

Last year, Travis Etienne had the best year ever by a Clemson running back.

The Jennings, Louisiana native set the single-season school rushing record with 1,658 yards, while also demolishing the program’s single-season record for touchdowns (24) and total touchdowns (26). His total touchdowns also tied an ACC record.

Etienne averaged 110.5 yards per game, the second-best figure in school history for a single season. His 8.1 yards per carry average is the best by any qualifying running back in a season. Obliterating Billy Hair’s 1950 record of 7.4 yards per carry.

The 2018 ACC Player of the Year rushed for 100 yards or more eight times last season, including a career-high 203 yards against Syracuse.
