Dabo Swinney just chuckles sarcastically when he gets asked about Travis Etienne being left off as a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, which goes to the nation’s best running back.
“If you watch the tape, if there is a running back award, and listen there are great backs and I am not saying anything about winning it, but if there is a running back award and Travis Etienne is not a finalist for it, then they should not have the award,” the Clemson head coach said.
Luckily for Etienne they still have an ACC Player of the Year Award, which the Clemson running back won for a second straight year earlier this week.
