Outrushing the nation’s leading rushing team isn’t easy, but No. 3 Clemson made it look that way in Saturday’s 49-21 victory at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta.
While the defense did its job holding the Yellow Jackets to 146 yards, the offense exploded for 248 yards on the ground and averaged 6.9 yards per carry.
“For us to come in here and establish the run the way that we did and be efficient, it was really great,” Clemson running back Travis Etienne said.
The sophomore bulldozed his way to 122 yards on 11 carries to give him back-to-back games over 100 yards for the first time in his career.
