3. How to get RB talent on the field

This is a good problem to have, no doubt.

Clemson has one of the deepest running back groups in the country without a doubt and the Tigers will be looking to get all of that talent on the field at times.

Travis Etienne is obviously going to get his carries. But there’s still plenty of talent behind him in Lyn-J Dixon, Chez Mellusi, Michel Dukes and freshmen incomers 5-star Demarkcus Bowman and 4-star Kobe Pryor, who will both enroll in the summer.

When you have that much depth in the backfield, it’s important to spread the wealth but also make sure you’re feeding your Heisman contender (Etienne) as much as possible. There’s a balance and the question will be if Clemson can find that balance this offseason.
