Clemson's Travis Etienne makes LSU football coach Ed Orgeron 'sick to my stomach'

CLEMSON, S.C. — Travis Etienne will forever be “the one that got away” for LSU coach Ed Orgeron – something akin to losing a hefty redfish while fishing Lake Pontchartrain.

“I get asked about him all the time,” Orgeron said. “And every time I watch Clemson play or every time I’ve seen him having success, I’m sick to my stomach.”

Etienne, a native of Jennings, Louisiana, would like nothing more than to induce a little more nausea for “Coach O” when Clemson and LSU battle in the College Football Playoff championship game at the Superdome in New Orleans on Jan.
