The competition among Lyn-J Dixon, Kobe Pace and Will Shipley leading up to last week’s season opener against Georgia was so tight that Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was adamant all three running backs would play this season.
Swinney’s confidence in the trio made him go as far as to say at one point that he didn’t care which one took the field first with the rest of the Tigers’ offense. Turns out that was Pace, but true to his word, all three logged snaps in Clemson’s 10-3 loss.
So what did Swinney think of their performances? Well…
“We just didn’t ever really give them a chance,” Swinney said.
