Every time Ed Orgeron sees a highlight of Travis Etienne breaking off a long run for a touchdown, the LSU head coach gets sick to his stomach.
“He is the one who got away,” Orgeron said during his national championship teleconference on Tuesday.
Orgeron is hoping Clemson’s record setting running back does not prevent LSU from winning a national championship on Jan. 13 when the two Tigers meet up in the College Football Playoff National Championship in New Orleans. Etienne’s from Jennings, Louisiana, a small town about 90 miles west of Baton Rouge.
“Every time I heard about Clemson play or every time I see him having success, I am sick to my stomach,” LSU’s head coach said.
