Travis Etienne had a lot of fun Saturday in No. 2 Clemson’s, 27-23, victory over Syracuse.
Sure, when a running back carries the football 27 times and rushes for 203 yards and scores three touchdowns, he is going to have a lot of fun. However, the sophomore wasn’t having fun because of that, he had fun because he was a part of what he felt was a special win.
“It was a great atmosphere,” Etienne said. “Seeing the crowd rally like that and seeing our guys coming in and making plays, it was really great.”
What Etienne is too modest to realize is that he played a major role in all of those things happening as he scored two of his three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, including a game-winning 2-yard run with 41 seconds to go.
