Heading into fall camp this August, it seemed as if the running backs room was as deep for the Clemson football team as it had ever been under head coach Dabo Swinney. It also seemed that senior running back Lyn-J Dixon was the guy to replace Travis Etienne after being selected in the first round of the NFL draft last April.
