Etienne passes Sammy Watkins and ties Tony Dorsett


Sep 14, 2020, 10:07 PM

With another 100+ yard rushing game, rushing TD, and 40+ receiving yards, Etienne had several new milestones, in addition to extending the numerous records he already holds:

*passed Sammy Watkins for 2nd place on Clemson's Career All-Purpose Yards and moved into 10th place in ACC history in that category

*Ties Tony Dorsett for 15th place on NCAA's FBS Career Rushing TDs (63)

*Breaks a tie with Wayne Gallman for most 100-yd rushing games in Clemson History (18)

*Breaks a tie with Lester Brown, Terry Allen, & James Davis for most consecutive games scoring a TD in Clemson history (10)

What a blessing to get to watch ETN in this "bonus" season

Very cool and very impressive. The numbers of games by each person for each record would also be interesting.

Hope he gets to break all the records he deserves to.

Barring injury, he should move into second place in NCAA career rushing TD’s (currently 77 - needs 15 more). He would need two more than his best season to take over #1 (26 total TDs this year).

He needs 21. He only has 57 rushing TDs.

Have enjoyed watching him play and he’s the main reason I kept my tickets this year. Best back we have ever had and one of the best ever in college. Look at the difference in touches between 9 and other greats. Would love to see Etienne win the Heisman.

I hope he smashes a bunch more this year - mostly another

ETN has been a fine representative of Clemson University. We are all lucky to get to see him play for one more year.

I'm stunned Gallman had as many 100 yard games as Etienne


Sep 15, 2020, 9:55 AM

But we didn't really split carries among the backs then like we do now. ETN is kind of the king of the 9 carries for 90 yards and 2 TD games.
