At least late in the game. Josh Williams will be a great RB and start every game, but these two will be getting the carries late in games

For all of the school issues Emery has had and Bradford been AWOL, these two look sharp at practice so far.

You've been able to make practices? We definitely have options. I like what all the backs bring to the table and it's nice to have this kind of depth again finally. Someone's gotta take the reigns.

Emery will have to prove he has solved his fumbling issue before he is a late game bell cow IMO

If Bradford is getting a lot of carries late in games, then LSU is winning big or there’s been a ton of injuries

Serious question, what videos are are making your judgment off of? All I have seen regarding running backs is them shuffling over pads and taking handoffs against no defense.

Thats all I have as well, but just comparing to the other backs and seeing who is working with the 1s in that limited film. This is just a bold prediction. It’s also based off Emery has shown glimpses in big games in the past.

We don’t beat Bama without Emery high stepping in the end zone, but we also don’t beat Bama without Williams asserting his manhood on a lead block in overtime

A big part of CBK's job this year will be managing touches for younger players to keep them out of the portal.

He doesn’t care about that, and shouldn’t. 95% of portal movement for a program like lsu is natural selection.

Yes but for every glimpse of greateness he’s shown, there is at least one fumble.

I think Logan Diggs is going to be a big part of the offense.

It's going to go game by game again imo. But Josh Williams and Diggs will get theirs

Tough to predict. All could be great.

So a guy who hasn’t taken a snap in 2 years will be the bell cow? K
