This time last year, everyone was curious what Clemson’s running game was going to look like in 2017.
Gone was Wayne Gallman, one of the more productive running backs in Clemson football history. The Tigers returned three players with experience in C.J. Fuller, Adam Choice and Tavien Feaster, but none of them had any real experience.
Then there was the wildcard in Travis Etienne, who the Tigers inked last February. Clemson running backs coach and co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott was confident the freshman could come in and challenge the other three, but it all depend on how fast he picked up the offense.
