Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney told ESPN during postgame that star running back Travis Etienne went to the locker room to get an IV because of cramps during Saturday's 47-21 win against Syracuse.

Etienne finished up with 16 carries for 86 yards (5.4 ypc) and three touchdowns during the contest. He also showed off his catching ability with three receptions on three targets for 20 yards.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, it was his sixth career game with three touchdowns, and he now has 64 career rushing touchdowns, which is 7th most in FBS history.
