By now just about everyone knows how close Travis Etienne is to breaking the ACC’s all-time record for career rushing yards.
The Clemson running back needs just 43 yards Saturday against Boston College to set the new mark, which Ted Brown (4,602) set during his four years at NC State from 1975-’78. Etienne comes into the game with 4,560 career yards.
But there is more damage Etienne can do to the Clemson, ACC and NCAA record books this week than just setting the rushing mark.
- Etienne, who has at least one rushing or receiving touchdown in 41 of his 49 career games, is also attempting to score a touchdown of any kind for a 42nd career game, which would break the FBS record held by San Diego State’s Donnel Pumphrey from 2013-16.
