For anybody who has seen KY play, is Towles really a threat to run?

I've read a couple of previews mentioning how Towles is a big, physical runner who provides a dual threat presence. Then I see his stats on the year are 60 carries for 119 yards and 1 TD. I don't get how a guy averaging 1.9 yards a carry is a big threat on the ground, unless they use him exclusively in short yardage situations since he does weigh 235 pounds.

LSU doesn't need to face a QB that can run, but I don't see Towles is much of a threat either.

Towles is an Anthony Jennings type runner. He isn't going to gain big yardage, but he can get out of some jams.

This will be the first time since ULM, that we don't have to deal with a dual threat.

I'm gonna put my crusade against sunshine pumpers aside here, and say that the only team we've lost at home to was the #1 team in the nation by 5 points. I'm not counting that as a moral victory, I'm just saying that I wouldn't say TS has lost its luster just yet. If we would have played MSU in Starkville, they might have beat us by 40. I think we beat UK in Tiger Stadium. If it were on the road, I would be worried.
