Travis Itine Excessive presence of quarterbacks is overshadowed
Trevor Lawrence At some point, but Saturday night showed the entire nation that the Tigers ’dynamic run should be in the conversation for the Hizman Trophy.
Etienne carried the ball 17 times for a season-high 149 yards and two touchdowns and was the No. 1 seed in the Death Valley on Saturday night to win Miami’s superb 177-1 victory on Saturday night. Leading No. 1 for 73 yards added a high eight receptions to Clemson’s squad. .
After the Tigers took a 21-10 to 21 percent lead in the third quarter, Etienne discredited the right for 72 yards, effectively ending the little pace Miami had gained.
Kirk Herbstry, a football analyst at ESPN College Ledge, called for a win over Miami and recalled the first time he saw Etienne – breaking a long touchdown run in Louisville in 2017.
“I called that game at Louisville the same day and I don’t remember who else was, they had another back that was still on the team playing, and I think there was a starter and I remember the game was like a double left, Wait, wait, do you see this innovation we have? You know, he can fly and he’s got a bright future, “Herbstrett said earlier this week. “But the left – I mean the way they recruit every year, they’ve got a few boys to talk to about it, and then he got into the game and he took one home and what kind of thing he would have caught on our camera. Was. What you saw was a big smile and braces. And he just looked like a 16 or 17 year old kid. And you saw that speed, that initial explosion and then its speed that those who couldn’t catch it – that was their first observation of mine. “
Herbstreet loves following Etienne’s career.
“And then, of course, I have followed him very closely throughout his career. I remember the next year I saw him and he came back and saw a lot more power in his lower body, and his ability to bounce the ack art of the hand, “said Herbstrett.” I think in his third year I soon Instead of just going and believing in his pace, he started to see more patience. He started it, the presentation and experience of the game that he had. He waited and waited and waited for the plays to develop and then, Like the great back, then hit him. And so I think it’s been a very, very natural growth for him in that position. “
As a senior, Etienne seems to have set a record every week and is turning into a full-back type who deserves to participate in the Heisman conversation and deserve a little more attention from the rest of the nation.
“This year you are only going to see all this in one – patience, speed which is as good as anyone in the country. The power that has the balance now … you saw it against Virginia last week, when it had this spin move and it hit, ”Herbstrett said. “And somehow he kept his balance, his hand went down and caught the ball outside the backfield. I think he has become a full back and I think he was really an eye opener when he said he was coming back, you know, after last year, I think a lot of people assumed he would And I think it’s an example of guys who decided to come back and complete their maturity before moving on to the next level. Now the NFL team will have one person who will not be behind everyone. I don’t think the nation gives him the love or appreciation he deserves. I think that’s because Trevor has been getting so much attention for that crime over the last few years. “
Miami head coach Manny Diaz said after the game that ETA is the “person” in the Clemson offense.
“I can talk supremacists all day on Trevor Larens, but Travis Etienne is that guy. He’s just as good as the college football player, there’s college football,” Diaz said. “Obviously the whole plan on the third down is not to let him throw the ball towards Etienne and he said it was easier because when he comes to the open field he’s very dangerous. Again, a better job than what we did. We had to do it because Trevor Lawrence threw five yards at the Etienne on the swing and let him go. It was also considered a passing yard, and we couldn’t take what he did best and his strength was in third place. Curry and we got better and the game was on, but it was really hard in the first two drives. “
