Tristen Rigby got the sideline jumping
Pop Quiz: Which Clemson running back had the highest average yards per rush last Saturday against Charleston Southern?
If you guessed Will Shipley, Phil Mafah or Jay Haynes, you’re wrong.
The answer is walk-on Tristen Rigby, at 20.5 yards per carry. Rigby got his first carry in a Clemson game and busted out a 35 yard run that got his teammates pumped.
One of Dabo Swinney's core tenets of someone being "All In" is having a genuine appreciation for everyone's role. One of the biggest sideline reactions last week came on Tristen Rigby's first career carry, a 35-yarder in his third season on the team.

Of Rigby, head coach Dabo Swinney said:
“[Rigby] doesn’t get to play much but he’s an incredibly committed kid to the team. To see the team get excited to watch that kid bust a couple runs, that’s what it’s all about.”
Lastly, ESPN’s Rece Davis pondered how the SEC’s start to this season could play out. Not directly Clemson related, but those who suffer from SEC fatigue will find this scenario interesting.
So the SEC has taken lumps in non-conference. Even if it’s unlikely, what about the unthinkable playoff scenario? @CollegeGameDay pod here: https://t.co/yIiG0VPaT4 pic.twitter.com/i2xy3yDnOi
