4. Lyn-J Dixon

Lyn-J Dixon only saw the field for a handful of drives against the Tar Heels.

Dixon didn’t get too many touches, carrying the ball just four times for 20 yards (5.0 YPC). He provided some help in pass-protection at times, but just wasn’t much of a factor on the field and didn’t see much playing time.

That will change this Saturday.

Look for the Clemson football coaching staff to get Dixon involved in the running game and try to take some of the weight off of Travis Etienne early.

Florida State has a talented defensive line, but has struggled stopping the run at times.
