If ETN is smart, which I think he is, he is happy to be

doing what he is doing. Longevity doesnt exist for NFL backs because of the wear and tear. I remember Carolina Panthers RBs... the two headed monster. Jonathan Stewart and, well poot, I forgot the others name. But he got traded after like 8 or 10 years to the Cardinals I think and then had a couple of really good years... good numbers and he was in his 30s. I remember them asking him how he stayed healthy and he thanked the Panthers for splitting the rushes between he and Jonathan.
Etn will be fresh... he has more tread on the tires coming out of college than others.

Let him run wild over the Coots in the first half. Blast the records away and then sit in the second half and start preparing for Charlotte, Atlanta/Glendale and then the Big Easy.

If ETN had those extra 80 carries at his current average

he would be at (1335+ [80x8.7]) equals 2031 yards on the season (plus another 200 or so versus SCU). If the Tigers do as we all hope, then add in close to 500 more in the 3 games of the CFB title run...that is SERIOUS yards!! Just a disgrace to the clowns putting out these lists. To doubt the ability of this fine young man and to be left off anyone's list of top backs in America is just crazy.

I understand why they left him off the short list

It's because all they care about is total yards and touchdowns, which is wrong. All Scelliot had to do to win Etienne this award was give him 150 more carries on the season to match him with Taylor, then Taylor would only be talked about as a distant second to Travis.
But.
We haven't done that because we're smart. We rotate an absurd number of players, keep our guys fresh for the late game, the next game, and the NFL, and most importantly, the trophy they hand out in January is better than any award they give in December.

It lets potential Clemson players know our culture is ALL about team so if you’re looking for stats and individual awards, we may not be the place for you. In effect, this is an Ad for Clemson that Dabo is wisely leveraging to get attention to Clemson and the approach we take in the program. Some will likely shy away but I would rather know that before they arrive than after. He is doing a defacto culling out so he doesn’t waste time or schollies.

Etienne and Cam Akers will have the two best NFL careers of all the RB's drafted this year.

Probably because he plays on the ACC network too much and we dont play anyone interesting.
