Former Clemson standouts stole the show in Jacksonville’s season opener. Running back Travis Etienne exploded for 143 yards on just 16 carries, averaging a ridiculous 8.9 yards per rush, as the Jaguars rolled past the Panthers 26-10 at EverBank Stadium.

Etienne’s highlight came late in the second quarter when he ripped off a 71-yard run to set up a Jaguars touchdown.
