When Travis Etienne hits the field Monday night at the Superdome in New Orleans, he will be filled with all sorts of emotions.
Clemson’s running back, perhaps playing in his last collegiate game, will be back home, just a couple of hours down Interstate 10 from Jennings, Louisiana, playing for a national championship. He will be doing it against the state’s favorite team … the LSU Tigers.
“I’m just going to be realistic with myself and honest with myself and letting myself know my emotions are not going to win the game,” Etienne said.
