With Travis Etienne back for his final season, Clemson has to have the best set of running backs in the country.
Etienne, of course, is an All-American and a two-time ACC Player of the Year. He needs just 565 yards this year to break Ted Brown’s all-time ACC rushing mark, which he set from 1975-’78 at NC State.
Behind Etienne is veteran Lyn-J Dixon, who enters his junior year. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound running back has rushed for a career 1,182 yards, while playing in 28 games.
After Dixon, the Tigers will lean on sophomores Michel Dukes and Chez Mellusi.
