WEEK 1 WALTER CAMP NATIONAL FBS OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: TRAVIS ETIENNE, CLEMSON, Junior, Running Back, Jennings, LA/Jennings...Travis Etienne rushed for 205 yards (on just 12 carries) and scored three touchdowns as top-ranked Clemson defeated ACC-rival Georgia Tech, 52-14, in its 2019 season opener. Etienne scored on runs of 90, 14 and 48 yards. His 90-yard scoring run tied a school record. Notes: Travis Etienne is the eighth Clemson player to receive Walter Camp National Player of the Week honors since 2004, and the first since former Tiger defensive end Austin Bryant (Sept. 10, 2017). - The Walter Camp Football Foundation

08/29/19 - Travis Etienne, Sr/2021, Clemson, 5-10, 215 (DS#2 RB) + More +

Travis Etienne ran for a career-high 205 yards and three touchdowns, including one from 90 yards out, and No. 1 Clemson overpowered Georgia Tech 52-14 Thursday night for its 16th straight victory. On an offense filled with stars, it was Etienne who shone brightest for the defending national champions. His 90-yard score tied for the longest rushing TD in Tigers history. Etienne added scoring runs of 14 yards and 48 yards as Clemson opened a 35-0 lead and was never pressed by the Yellow Jackets in the season opener for both Atlantic Coast Conference teams.

It was not the flashy return that most of college football expected out of Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The 6-foot-6 sophomore, so poised and polished in leading the Tigers to a 15-0, title-winning season, threw two interceptions in the first half. Lawrence had just four picks all last year. Still, Lawrence had his moments. His hustle after a bad interception knocked defensive back Tre Swilling out of bounds at the Clemson 3, and the Tigers defense kept the Yellow Jackets from scoring. Lawrence opened things with a 6-yard rushing score and threw a perfect pass to Tee Higgins for a 62-yard touchdown. Lawrence finished 13 of 23 for 168 yards. - AP College Football

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence headlines The Associated Press preseason All-America team, and he has two teammates from the top-ranked Tigers with him on the first team.

Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons was a first-team selection on defense. Clemson and No. 2 Alabama tied for the most first-team selections with three. - AP College Football

Cross off another milestone for Clemson, college football's newest superpower. For the first time, the defending national champion Tigers are No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason Top 25 presented by Regions Bank. The Tigers won the program's second national title in three seasons behind freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence in January. Clemson now can claim equal standing with Alabama at the top of the sport.

The Crimson Tide, coming off a 44-16 loss to Clemson in the College Football Playoff championship, is No. 2. Clemson received 52 first-place votes and Alabama received the other 10 from the media. Clemson snaps a record-tying string of three straight years in which Alabama was preseason No. 1. Georgia, Alabama's Southeastern Conference rival, is No. 3, followed by No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 5 Ohio State. - AP College Football

Saban was asked: Who's the best college quarterback you've seen? "You know what comes to mind for me when you ask the question about quarterbacks is some of the guys when I was a defensive coordinator in the NFL and there happened to be some really, really good quarterbacks," Saban said. "John Elway was a really good quarterback at Stanford when I was at Ohio State and he impressed me a lot, but he also impressed me a lot when he played for the Denver Broncos. And Dan Marino impressed me a lot because it just seemed like there was a time whenever they had to go two-minute to win a game he was going to do it...I remember those days more than just college. But I think maybe there's a reason for that because in the NFL the game is a little more quarterback oriented if that makes sense. Tom Brady played really good against us when I was against Michigan State. We actually won the game, 34-31 or 31-28, but it was because they played a different quarterback half the game. If they'd have played him the whole game I don't know what would have happened. We had an opportunity to see a lot of them. I think Trevor Lawrence played about as well against us last year in the championship game as anybody we've seen here in recent times. And so did their quarterback a couple of years ago (Deshaun Watson)." - Birmingham News

08/10/19 - Diondre Overton, Sr/2020, Clemson, 6-4, 212 (DS#76 WR) + More +

The coaching staff challenged Overton to get stronger over the summer, and he gained eight pounds while also becoming a better all-around football player. "I worked on my route running, had to get a little faster being that I had to be in the slot. So I had to just work on my craft and start making it more serious," Overton said. "This is definitely a money year. This is my last year. I didn't redshirt my freshman year, so it's all business from here on out. Gotta treat it like business and have the right mindset."

When starting slot receiver Amari Rodgers went down with an injury in the spring, it opened a door for someone else to step into the starting lineup alongside Justyn Ross and Tee Higgins. Overton appears to be the guy ready to fill in for Rodgers thanks to a strong spring, summer and start to fall camp. "He's been great. I'm super proud of him," Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said. "He's become one of our best leaders, incredibly committed to this program. And, you know, we've moved him over to the slot and I'm telling you, he's loving it. He's having a ball. "He's a very intelligent player, and he's just so much stronger. He's done an awesome job with his body. And he's playing with a lot of confidence." - The State
