1. Travis Etienne

Travis Etienne has hit a bit of a rough patch since the Georgia Tech game. Teams have been scheming to stop him and he hasn’t been able to reel off too many explosive plays.

Against Charlotte, Etienne had a fumble that was seemingly missed by the officials and dropped a pass out of the backfield that was extremely close to being a live ball.

Etienne will get it turned around this week.

Look for the talented junior running back to explode for a couple of big plays and make that North Carolina defense pay. He’s going to go for over 100 yards and probably a couple of scores.

Media isn't concerned about Clemson's schedule. dark. Next

We’ll get to see the Travis Etienne that we’ve all come to know and love this weekend and it will certainly leave a good taste in the mouths of Clemson football fans heading into a bye week.
