Clemson offensive coordinator and running backs coach Tony Elliott is glad the Tigers’ lopsided 37-13 win at Wake Forest last Saturday afforded them the opportunity to get a lot of young players into the game — including true freshmen running backs Demarkcus Bowman and Kobe Pace — and Elliott knows the reps they received gives them and him something to build off of moving forward.
“It was good for those guys to get some meaningful experience because again, in this climate, this day and age, they’re going to be guys we’re going to have to count on at any given moment down the stretch,” Elliott said Monday during his weekly meeting with the media.
