Ed Orgeron Names Starting Running Back For 2018
67
Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports
LSU head coach Ed Orgeron joined ESPN's 104.5 FM’s "Off The Bench" show on Thursday and said that senior Nick Brossette will “start off” No. 1 in the Tigers running back group, followed by sophomore Clyde Edwards-Helaire, junior Lanard Fournette, and true freshman Tae Provens.
The Tigers begin spring practice this Sunday, March 11.

Yep it is definitely too early to name a rb, cause it could let the ones know to step up their game...so this all good....Geaux Tigers !!!

I'm rooting for Nick, hope he does well, a lot of guys in his shoes would've transferred. There's something to say about that, in my book. But if he's not the man for the job then I hope the man after him will be able to produce.

I don't understand why he felt compelled to name a starting running back in the first place - or any position for that matter. They haven't even played Spring ball yet. Anything can happen between now and then, and it doesn't set a good example for incoming freshmen who haven't even been given a chance yet. Amateurish.

If you are a true Tiger fan, you root for every player on the team, QB down to the back-up long snapper. They are all wearing the Purple & Gold.

Sounds so familiar. Yeah, folks were freaking out when all we had one year was a back-up named Jeremy Hill. He went out in 2013 and ran for 1400 yards, got kinda quiet on the message boards. Is Brossette gonna do that? Dont know.But getting down on the kid isnt gonna help.

Guys are acting like he is a walk on. He was the #19 running back in the country coming out of high school. He has played behind 2 LSU greats and has been coached by some of the best in the biz. Give the guy a chance.

Just haven't seen it at all. Not even on the free carries he's had. All I can think of is Alfred Blue after the injury and Kenny Hilliard as a senior. Not trying to be mean, but Brossette is mediocre.

All people want to talk about is when he fumbled early in the year. They must’ve quit watching them,because when he started carrying the ball again at the end of the year he was averaging about 6yac not to mention he had a big 4th down carry and got the first

Man I like being positive but this will be the biggest down year in 20 years of great backs at LSU

47Sounds like you like being positive. Ed couldn’t land Akers, slow played Etienne and didn’t land a big one this year. We’ll see if he can get a couple of big ones next year.

711Chris Curry will beat out the rest for the starting job and Poverns, Founette, and CHE wil battle for the #2 after that is history! When i saw broussete play he isnt that x-factor like we've had.. So facts is facts! Unless he got it together.. The young bucks are gonna run wild!

I agree. Soon as Curry learns the playbook, he will be the starter. These, 'fans' have no idea what a good back looks like on the field, all they know is what so called experts tell them. Curry is a beast and will bring to the tigers the same mold of RB Emmitt Smith was.

Think people are sleeping on Brossette. Fans have been spoiled with top ten NFL draft type talent at the position. Fournette and Guice type backs don’t come along very often, and Brossette has had to wait sat behind both. Also throw in Darrell who is a pro prospect that lacks certain physical traits that would make him an elite back.
