CLEMSON, S.C. -- Kendall Joseph's first step was a bad one. This was a rarity for the veteran linebacker, and usually he could adjust, but not today. The freshman on the other side was already in full stride, and before Joseph even had a chance to process his mistake, Travis Etienne was gone -- shot through the line of scrimmage like a lightning bolt and on down the field, galloping, one long stride after another, into the end zone.
It was Etienne's first carry against Clemson's first-team defense, and he took it to the house.
