The One That Got Away: Seeing Etienne run makes Ed Orgeron sick to his stomach

Seeing Travis Etienne break runs and score touchdowns for Clemson instead of LSU makes Ed Orgeron sick to his stomach.

Clemson and LSU will face off in the National Championship Game on Jan. 13th in the Superdome in New Orleans, and Etienne, the standout junior running back, should play a pivotal role.

Etienne grew up in Jennings, Louisiana, a 90-mile drive from Baton Rouge and wanted an LSU offer above all others. Orgeron was an interim coach when Etienne was finalizing his recruitment and Clemson swooped in and snatched a great back out of LSU’s back yard.
