By my count, he had 2 plays he gained YAC, and he made only one guy miss, which occurred on our last FD with 3 min left in the game. Surely, with the stable of backs we have, we can do better.

Obviously you missed a lot of the game. CEH had a great spin move to avoid a loss and get a first down on one of the 1st drives. He broke a ton of arm tackles as well.

I’m gonna rewatch this week and break it down. I’ll report back what I find. I’m sure there may have been one or two I missed, but overall, TX is not known for their tackling prowess, and for as many touches as he had, you would expect more YAC and elusiveness, IMO.

I think as the season progresses, you will find that he will get less touches outside the tackles, b/c we have backs that will make that first defender look silly.

I had an opportunity to rewatch the game, and found that I may have been a bit hypercritical of Helaire's performance.

I missed 2 runs in the 1st H that included making a defender miss and getting YAC.

I still stand by the fact that LSU will be better served to use 22 more to his strengths, and give the outside the hash iso plays to backs better suited for those plays.

The dropped swing pass with blockers on 3rd and 1 first drive of 2nd H is a well designed play for him. His drop was almost as critical as the TX drop in the endzone
