It was used more frequently this time, but Clemson’s rotation at running back was on display again against South Carolina State.
And it doesn’t sound like it’s leaving anytime soon.
Lyn-J Dixon, Kobe Pace and Will Shipley all took their turns in the Tigers’ backfield during last week’s 49-3 win, and they came quickly for each. Dixon got the start and took the handoff on Clemson’s first two offensive plays before Pace gave him a breather. By the time Clemson’s first drive ended with a touchdown a few minutes later, all three had seen the field.
The trio got the majority of their reps during the first three quarters and combined for 175 of Clemson’s 242 rushing yards.
