There’s no doubt that Travis Etienne has to step up this weekend in South Bend, just as he did against Boston College.

Etienne wasn’t able to get much of a running game going against the Eagles, but he still found a way to make a major impact in the passing game and continuing to wear down BC running the ball. The result was more than 200 all-purpose yards.

Etienne is going to have to have a performance of the same caliber for the Tigers to beat Notre Dame Saturday night.
