Very true, if you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and go watch Etienne’s highlights. While he may be a bigger, more physical back, Travis Etienne Jr. has exceptional speed in the open field.

This tweet was in regards to the statement Etienne made when he decided on Clemson. Etienne stated “I’m taking my talents to the real Death Valley” this is a dig at in-state LSU, because they too call their stadium “Death Valley”. There were some in and around the LSU program that took offense to this.

Derek Ponamsky, special assistant to head coach Ed Oregon also took to twitter, responding with this image of LSU’s stadium.
It’s safe to say, LSU is licking their chops to play Clemson in the near future. That being said, I don’t think there is any real debate over who reigns supreme at the moment coming off of the 2016 National Championship.
