That's why i don't understand why some big time RB commit doesn't want to come in and play

Pretty telling that Brossette isn't even getting any clean up time.

Correct, which is why we wanted Akers out of MS so bad!

You don't need a superstar RB to win. Do you even know who the RB is for Clemson?

At this point there is a massive drop off in RB talent after Guice. Williams seems to run with concrete shoes and head down. this will need to be addressed in recruiting and soon.

Pretty scary to think Williams is going to be a senior and Guice could leave after next year who knows. Don't feel confident in Brosette and Lanard to carry the load in 2018. Will David Ducre be back next year?

Yes. Huge drop off.

How much of a drop off?

Put it to you this way: the Heisman winner Lamar Jackson won't have much of an NFL career. Jackson will be lucky if he makes it one year. Preseason Heisman contender Fournette will be a top 5 first round draft pick as RB into the NFL this year and will have a nice NFL career. Guice will have a better NFL career than Fournette when it is all said and done.

Drop off?

It might be the biggest drop off in Tiger history.

Big time drop off

so much so, I am concerned I will be disappointed if he goes down next year to injury.

Akers would have put a lot of hype into that position.

LF and Guice we're 5 star guys that we knew were going to be studs. Guice has surprised me...this only weakness is 3rd and 2....he's not that back, LF is...

moving forward we have some 4 star guys that we don't know how good they will be....

I am so spoiled after Fournette and Guice. I can't go back to watching average backs. We need to get the next great one ASAP.

I think some on here are sleeping on Nick Brossette. All he has been doing is waiting his turn behind two of the best running backs we've probably had at the same time ever. That and he's been getting healthy. I believe they give the ball to Williams more because he's a year older and did not act like a sissy and transfer out. Frank Wilson recruited Brossette and he knows a good back when he sees one. Brossette was ranked #181 in the country regardless of position according to 247. 16th best RB in the country. The guy touched the ball 15 times this year for 145 yards. That's a 9.7 average. Is there a drop off after Fournette and Guice. Of course. Is the drop off over the cliff? No. Brossette will be our #2 next year and Williams will probably get some carries because he will be a senior. CEO would have probably played Brossette some had several other teams not been up by 21 and lost their bowl games. LSU will be alright at the RB position. We need more studs on the OL and LB position but RB is not concerning me at this point.
