The State: Spiller needs more touches

Paul Strelow of The State openly wonders why Clemson running back C.J. Spiller was not used more in Saturday's win over Miami.  Spiller finished the day with 23 touches for 303 all-purpose yards and two scores.  One a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

Sounds like Spiller was utilized just fine to me.  He's never going to be a 25-carry a game guy.  And after ripping off 303 total yards, even Spiller needs a rest.  Sterlow also notes that Spiller wore a protective walking boot to protect his lingering turf toe injury, like he has after a number of games this season.
