Travis Etienne is the first player to make our list and that’s simply because he’s the top runner on the team.

If Clemson doesn’t have a quarterback available for a game, it very well could be a situation where the Tigers elect to go wildcat and utilize that deep backfield.

Etienne could be the player who makes that all happen.

Snap the ball to Etienne, let him choosing between handing the ball off to Lyn-J Dixon, Demarkcus Bowman, Chez Mellusi or Michel Dukes, or keep it himself. Slow the game down and rely on your running game to come through. That very well could be the plan.
