CLEMSON – Social media was on fire during both of Clemson’s first two games of the season, with many wondering why Lyn-J Dixon either wasn’t on the field or receiving more carries. Without getting into specifics, both head coach Dabo Swinney and offensive coordinator Tony Elliott have answered those questions, and the consensus seems to be that Dixon simply needs to act more like the senior he is.
Dixon had just one carry for 10 yards in the season opener, a 10-3 loss to Georgia. Dixon started Saturday’s win over SC State and rushed for 16 yards and four yards on the first two plays of the game, but his name didn’t show back up in the boxscore until the third quarter.
