When Travis Etienne is given a breather in Saturday’s game at Wake Forest, it’s likely Lyn-J Dixon will be the next guy to take the field at running back. Unless the junior still has not recovered from the injured knee he suffered during camp.
Dixon has been limited in practice the last two weeks and Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott said the days leading up to Saturday’s season opener will tell them a lot on how they will use Dixon. If Dixon is not able to go, could Clemson fans see former 5-star running back Demarkcus Bowman earlier than expected?
