Going into spring practice, everyone knew the competition to be Clemson’s new starting running back was going to fierce.
So far, through nine practices, that has been the case.
Following Clemson’s scrimmage at Death Valley this past Wednesday, head coach Dabo Swinney broke down the competition, while praising new running backs coach C.J. Spiller.
“C.J. is doing an awesome job. I love how he is managing those guys. They are all in it. They are all competing,” Swinney said.
Lyn-J Dixon is expected to win the job, given his experience as Travis Etienne’s backup the last two years when he was healthy.
