Monday PM Notes: Tony Elliott and Brent Venables

Tony Elliott

-- The running backs catching passes out of the backfield gives Clemson a new element to its offense. When the run is taken away like Texas A&M was trying to accomplish on Saturday, it allows Clemson to be more creative and get the ball to its playmakers.

Travis Etienne and Lyn-J Dixon combined to catch six passes for 60 yards. Zero drops.

-- Said Amari Rodgers inspires him as a coach. Rodgers prepares like a pro and plays like a pro.
