For those that don't want to click:
4. Clemson: RB Travis Etienne
Dabo Swinney opened the year saying he had three potential starting running backs, but his list didn't include Etienne. It didn't take long for that perspective to change. Etienne quickly proved to be among the most explosive runners in the country, breaking long runs against Kent State, Louisville and Boston College to open the season. Etienne now leads the Tigers in rushing with 489 yards and seven touchdowns, and while his pass blocking remains a work in progress, he's proven to be so productive that Swinney simply can't keep him off the field. - David M. Hale
19. LSU: Three offensive linemen
In Baton Rouge, you can take your pick on the offensive line: Ed Ingram, Austin Deculus and Saahdiq Charles. The three true freshmen have played a pivotal role in stabilizing an offensive line that's been hit hard by injuries. -- Scarborough

Ours way 3 offensive linemen. That’s pretty ducking lazy.
Also it should be Greedy.

Deculus hasn't really played a role much of all 
I would say our best true freshmen, in order, would be:
1. Delpit
2. Ingram
3. Taylor
4. Charles
5. Carter
6. Chaisson
7. Phillips
8. Vincent
9. Stevens
10. Farrell
11. Deculus
Nobody else has really played enough for me to judge. Charles hasn't actually been great, but because he's had to move around so much and play so much, I put him up there.

Akers hasn't looked bad, on par with Darrel Williams. Not lighting the world up but definitely servicable.

1 GS

4.7 YPC
Long of 45 yards

Grant Delpit should be on this list. Etienne was big miss for us!

With the depth at RB there is no reason for Etienne to get away. He would have been the guy next year and would have helped while Guice was injured earlier.
Akers pursuit really hurt and you also nearly lost Edwards Helaire as well.

I would MUCH RATHER have 3 offensive linemen make the list than a running back.
