2. Travis Etienne will have a monster night

Travis Etienne has been very good this season. He is averaging over 6.0 yards a carry on only 39 touches. Miami’s defense hasn’t been able to handle the run this season. Versus Louisville, the Cardinals averaged 4.3 yards per carry and rushed for 209 yards. If Clemson doesn’t fall behind and Etienne can continue to play like he’s been doing Clemson should be fine.

Last game vs Virginia, Etienne had two touchdowns one on the ground and another through the air.

The offense line is shaping up quite nicely despite Dabo Sweeney’s concern over the offensive line.

Etienne and the entire Clemson team is motivated by last seasons lost to LSU in the National Championship. The Tigers are on a mission this season and this very well be their easiest path to the College Football Playoff.
