1. Travis Etienne

Travis Etienne had himself quite the game last season in the ACC Championship and Clemson football fans should expect nothing different this time around.

Etienne is chasing a career milestone and very well could go over that mark in this game. That’s exactly why Tiger fans need to carefully watch his rushing yardage total.

Sitting at No. 3, Etienne (3,810 career rushing yards) is just 72 yards away from surpassing James Davis (3,881 yards) on the school all-time career rushing leader board and is 157 yards away from holding the overall record, currently held by Raymond Priester (3,966).

It would take a solid night, but there’s no reason to believe that Etienne couldn’t pass both those totals Saturday night.

Next. Bryce Perkins will prepare Clemson for CFB Playoff. dark

He certainly should come away as the No. 2 overall rusher in school history by the end of the night, passing Davis, and has a great chance of catching Priester if he can break off a couple of big-time runs.
