Dabo Swinney hopes new running backs coach C.J. Spiller has a hard decision to make when he decides later this summer who Clemson’s starting running back will be when the Tigers’ open the 2021 season on Sept. 4.
Clemson, of course, is replacing the ACC’s all-time rushing leader in Travis Etienne. This spring, the Tigers had several guys battling for the top spot and the result from Saturday’s Orange & White Spring Game proved that no one separated themselves heading into summer workouts.
“That would be great. I hope it is hard,” Swinney said after the White’s 14-13 victory at Death Valley.
