Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott said Monday that running back Travis Etienne did in fact get banged up in the Tigers’ last meeting with Notre Dame on Nov. 7, but that is fine now.
ESPN sideline reporter Maria Taylor reported prior to the start of the Virginia Tech game that Etienne was banged up at Notre Dame and was working to get to 100 percent. Elliott confirmed Taylor’s report on Monday, saying the two-time ACC Player of the Year had his knee banged up towards the end of the game.
“He took a shot in his knee, but he played through it,” Elliott said.
