CLEMSON - Freshman running Will Shipley hinted Monday that one of the reasons Clemson's running backs have improved in recent weeks can be credited to addition by subtraction.
Shipley and Kobe Pace combined for 43 carries, 303 yards, and four touchdowns in the last Saturday’s 48-27 victory over Wake Forest in Clemson’s best rushing effort since a win over Wofford in November in 2019.
Shipley had 19 carries for 113 yards and Pace carried the ball 24 times for 191 yards. Shipley added a two-yard touchdown pass out of the Wildcat. The improved play of the running backs can be credited to a room that now pulls for each other, regardless of who gets the most carries or goes out on the field first.
