Though Dabo Swinney believes Travis Etienne is finally getting the credit he deserves, the Clemson head coach still thinks his running back is underrated.
“I think he has been his whole career.” Swinney said Monday night during his weekly call-in radio show on the Clemson Tigers Sports Network. “He is special. The record he just broke has been there since the 70s.”
The record Etienne broke in this past Saturday’s win over Boston College is the ACC’s career rushing mark, which NC State’s Ted Brown held since 1978. The Jennings, La., native also became the FBS record holder for most games with at least one touchdown.
