Elliott explains drop off behind Etienne in the running game

Being a running back for the Clemson Tigers has always been a big deal. Clemson has produced many great running backs through the years.

Two-time All-American and ACC Player of the Year Travis Etienne is the best Clemson has ever produced. He already holds several Clemson and ACC records and this week needs just 43 yards to break the ACC’s all-time career rushing record.

Even before his time, Etienne was flashing stardom from his early stages, playing behind Wayne Gallman and sharing time with Tavien Feaster at one point.

This season, it is Lyn-J Dixon, who has once again seemed to be the primary backup to Etienne.
