I think you will be surprised by Brossette, Nix To Twillie. He has shined in limited carries and should get more this season. Akers has only played high school comp to this point, and you never know how they translate to the next level. Either way, we're set at RB.

I'm just glad he didn't go to Bama. That's where I am at this point.

No chest. Good riddance

You sound fricking dumb.

skullopener•88 months

Damn right, why come here and run into a wall called BAMA!!

eugene1928LSU•88 months

bdj, i suspect you have no chest either

BayouBengal61•88 months

Damn can't say I didnt see this coming. Akers and Guice would have been a nasty combo. Hopefully we can bring in Marvin Wilson

It's cool. Brossette as a SR starter or Etienne as a Soph will be fine.

Path of least resistance.... literally.

dagrippa•88 months

Shocking! Unexpected!

KB1854•88 months

Bama's going to break him in real good Sept 2!!

HuRRiCaNe MiLeS•88 months

Keep fooling yourselves, Jimbo is that much better. Sorry

Mr.Perfect•88 months

Yet has tried to leave two years in a row

Will start immediately for FSU with Cook gone. Wouldn't beat out Guice or Brossette. So probably a good move for him. Move forward Tigers! Go get dem Linebackers!

Nix to Twillie•88 months

He wouldn't beat out Guice, but Brossette? Come on. After Guice leaves after next season the path was perfectly paved for Akers to have a starring sophomore season. Brossette would have backed him up.

CL8100•88 months

so i guess akers either did not think he was better than brossette to get good playing time or he did not want to face sec defenses. probably both, come on hyde and etiene and need some linebackers now

DaleGribblesMower•88 months

Jimbo told him he wouldn't have to play SEC defenses= sold!

Quid Pro Quo•88 months

So he is going to sit out the Opener w/ALA, RS, or get neg yds?

SEC had 4 teams worse than 107th ranked in rush D, ACC had 2. SEC had 6 teams ranked 87th or worse, the ACC had 2. SEC had 9 teams ranked 57th or worse, the ACC had 5. SEC had 3 teams ranked in the top 25, one in the top 10. ACC had 5 teams ranked in the top 25, 4 in the top 10. SEC defenses were lousy this year outside of Bama, LSU, Florida, and Auburn.
