2. Travis Etienne

This will likely be the last game we’ll ever see Travis Etienne wearing a Clemson football jersey.

Etienne wasn’t able to get much going on the ground against Ohio State, but was extremely effective in the passing game.

He ended scoring the game-winning touchdown and provided a much-needed spark on several occasions for the Tigers.

Etienne will be able to get things going on the ground this time around, though, and we expect him to have a big day.

Even more than Etienne putting up some nice numbers, he’s just seven yards away from breaking the all-time rushing record for the Clemson football program. Etienne (3,960 yards rushing) will surpass Raymond Priester (3,966) and come away with the record Monday night.
