The last two weeks have been different for running back Travis Etienne.
After four straight games of rushing for at least 122 yards, the sophomore has just 84 yards combined in the last two games.
Part of it is due to the fact NC State and Florida State stacked the box and dared No. 2 Clemson to throw the ball with a true freshman, Trevor Lawrence, at quarterback. However, it’s not all because of the defense.
“You know, the biggest thing with Travis is just quit trying to be Superman,” Clemson running backs coach and co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott said.
