CLEMSON – Clemson running back Travis Etienne has the top-end speed to match almost any running back in the country and hits the hole as quick as any Tiger running back in recent memory. The Clemson coaches think that for Etienne to be a complete back, however, he needs to slow down.
Etienne ranks 15th nationally in rushing, with 845 yards on 108 carries. His 7.82 average yards per carry ranks 12th. Etienne gained 654 yards in a four-game stretch that started with Georgia Southern but has just 84 yards combined over his last two games.
