Elliott: Etienne is more engaged in every aspect of the game

The Clemson Tigers and Travis Etienne kicked the 2019 season off just like they ended last season, running hard and making big plays on the ground.

Etienne ran for a career-high 205 yards and tied a career-best with three rushing touchdowns on just 12 carries in the Tigers’ 52-14 victory over Georgia Tech on Thursday night at Death Valley.

The junior back averaged a wild 17.1 yards per carry, but the day didn’t start off so great for him. After an early fumble in the first quarter, Etienne was able to bounce back and have his best game in a Clemson uniform.
