CLEMSON, SC – NOVEMBER 11: Travis Etienne /

3. The Move To Travis Etienne

Now, here’s an interesting question.

Dabo will, without a doubt, be asked about the decision to put Travis Etienne as the starter at running back in place of Tavien Feaster.

I expect that he will give a very “coach-speak” answer.

He’ll point out the obvious about how good of a spring Etienne had. He’ll then tell us that both Tavien Feaster and Adam Choice are also playing well, but they just really liked what they saw out of Etienne.

He will then reassure us that all three guys will see quality playing time and that being the starter on the summer depth chart doesn’t mean anything come fall.
