Why would Lache

pick LSU over Auburn given how the season is playing out for both teams offensively? Good majority of LSU fans were counting on Auburn falling apart once the season got going, but instead you have LSU rushing for 30 yards vs the same team AU put 400 on.

Because LSU can sell Lache on immediate playing time and not be full of shite this time. We'll need all the RB we can get our hands on next year.

Ridley, Murphy, Ford and Calhoun won't cut it?

None of them have real experience so having a ton of talent certainly won't hurt.
eta: Although I'm not sure Les has figured out in five years that you have to put the most talented players on the field.

The same reason he was thinking about going to AU when everyone said they were going to suck.

I don't know.
Why would Fre'Shad Hunter pick NC State over LSU, when LSU offers a dire need for D-linemen, plays in a better league, and has a better shot at a championship?
Answer: Who knows? They're kids, and I don't care how many insiders you think you know, you'll never get inside these kids' minds and understand their thought process.
FWIW, I'm about 50/50 on whether he goes LSU or Auburn, and I don't think he knows at this point.

If you think Auburn isn't using this as well, youre sorely mistaken.

Pretty obvious, actually.
Majority of Auburn's touches to this point come from 1 senior (Tate) and a host of underclassmen (McCalebb - Fr, Smith - So, Fannin - Jr). Those 3 guys are going to carry the load for Auburn next season. You also throw into the mix the fact that they have a commitment from Dyer and it starts to get crowded.
The only running backs with significant touches for LSU this season have been 3 seniors - Scott, Williams, Holliday. He comes here next season and competes with guys like Murphy, Ridley and Ford who haven't proven anything to this point. LSU is going to give considerable playing time to a couple of inexperienced backs next season either way, just as soon be Lache.

We can offer him playing time just as well as lsu can, Tate leaving....he can come in and be the 1 or 2 no doubt

Auburn can produce offensively on offense while LSU is completely inept running the ball. Depth chart hasn't been mentioned much by LS that I recall. Why would a high profile offensive player choose LSU w/ the inability (both in production and play calling) they've shown this year?

I'm not sure if your playing devils advocate but I see what your saying. I have seen crowton effictively use talent on offense yet this year and we are way too predictible.

The only reason is because he grew up likeing LSU. If I was LS I would pay close attention to RR and RS this season, and if thier roles dont increase as the season goes on, I would go nowhere near LSU. LSUs depth chart might be favorable compared to AU, but AU will play the youngsters, while Miles will make excuses to keep the upperclassman: Ridley,Calhoun,Ford, Murphy in the game while a more talented LS sits the bench.

not playing devils advocate, being honest. this offense is incompetent, and is incapable of recognizing it's best play maker b/c he's a frosh; not to mention Randle being a complete non-factor.

So who's carries does he take?
McCalebb is averaging almost 7 yds per carry as a freshman. If he holds pace and has a 900 - 1000 yard season with 8 - 10 touchdowns, you really think he doesn't get the majority of the carries next season?
What about Fannin? He's rolling out 7.5 yards per touch himself and will be a senior next season.
What about Dyer? Lache going to come in and automatically play over him given Mahlzan's prior relationship recruiting Dyer when he was at Arkansas?

Clearly the problem is with coaching. Once Studrawa is fired and a better offensive line coach is brought in, the players on the offensive line will be better managed and the team will actually be able to block for the running backs.
It seems clear to me that there are at least 2 players on the line (at guard) who just don't cut it. I have no idea why players like Shaw haven't been switched to the interior, instead of gathering splinters on the bench as the back-up left tackle who never plays.
With Hardrick coming in January and Faulk adjusting to college this year, it's not as if the team has no one. In fact, on paper, the O-line talent is decent even with the attrition. There's just something missing from the unit because linemen are getting pushed back like tackling dummies
.
Besides, Lache has to be excited for the opportunity to play with Shep.

Based on evidence thus far:
1) AU is better offensively, both running and passing.
2) AU is playing freshmen while LSU is not.
3) AU is winning "pretty" and LSU is not.

McCalebb and Lache would split and Fannin is a utility H back, he's no really a RB only in special formations, if Dyer is tere as well which I don't think we land Dyer and Lache, then it's a cluster frick and idk
