Florida State football, recruiting news: Is Travis Etienne better than Dalvin Cook?

Football:

ESPN’s David Hale compared the college stats of Clemson Tigers running back Travis Etienne and Florida State Seminoles legend Dalvin Cook, concluding that Etienne is the better back.

Who do you think the better back is? Whatever your opinion, I’m sure all FSU fans can rejoice in not having to play against Etienne anymore.
