In the last seven seasons Clemson has had two different leading rushers, Travis Etienne and Wayne Gallman.
As the Tigers prepare to enter fall camp in a couple of weeks, they find themselves in unfamiliar territory without a leading candidate who has emerged as the starting running back.
Running backs coach C.J. Spiller beat around the bush when asked about a pecking order at the Clemson Football Media Day on Tuesday.
But Spiller doesn’t feel like his unit necessarily needs an alpha dog in order to be successful when the season kicks off.
“As far as having that one lead dog I don’t think we need that because it will take a collective effort from everybody,” Spiller said.
