Zach Evans in LSU gear

That dude is a beast. Gonna be hard with Emory and Davis as freshman.

I think we will miss on both guys. We're kinda crowded at RB. A lot of people forget that we have Chris Curry.

I completely agree that 3 elite backs is about where you would like to be with injuries and all. Now keeping the depth behind them from transferring will be the issue or nonissue depending on how the staff see’s if but I’m sure they would prefer to have them all stay. Curry, Fournette and CEH. I think all will be solid but nothing like the other 3. I honestly want to see more of Fournette this year though because I think he’s going to be a very good back for LSU. You can just see that he sees the field well and runs with some passion.

Talent alone the two Freshman have him but I think he’s the next best back we have on the team even though CEH performed well last year. Fournette started to show himself toward the end of the year. He’s great out of the backfield and I think LSU should use him like the saints do with Kamara. I think he will surprise people given the chance. I would bring the freshman on slower this year and let them see the field and learn to set up their blocks, learn how to block on 3rd downs or PA plays then slowly bring them in more and more. Use the other 3 for the first 5 games mostly then let the freshman get some time also and when we have a blowout type of game.

Then if they earn more time in those instances, you give them more carries. To me Fournette has earned his carries and he should be the starter come the first game. Then if he’s not on I would quickly go to the next guy maybe one of the freshman with Curry and CEH given them spells. But to me Fournette is more talented then people want to give him credit for. Simply because he was seen as someone who was just given a scholarship bc of his name. I think he wants to prove that to be false and make his own money at the next level. I believe he can and will also.

The others will have plenty of time to get theirs. Seeing a guy like Fournette scoring TD’s shouldn’t bother them one bit. As long as they get their touches. Keep them fresh for their 2nd and 3rd years. Then let them bust it wide open in that 3rd season. Hey as long as the offense is scoring points I actually don’t care who touches the ball. I would just like to see what he does with his opportunities. GT

thank you sweet baby Jesus that this fella bayoubengal99 is not our coach and has no influence in any decision making!

If that mean we miss then it means UGA will miss to with their crowded backfield. But I like our chances to land one better than UGA

Nothing against Curry but I think Fournette will get more touches than him and Curry will be 5th.

I've thought Lanard was a player for awhile now. Not a big-time guy but sure seems to find some nice yardage on almost every run attempt...

I agree. I don't get the hype with curry.
He is just too slow to be an every down back

Who said he would be a every down back and I don't really see where he's been hyped all that much, I mean freshman RB's go through this having to get used to the speed of the game and all of that at the college level. Edwards-Helaire had a difficult frosh season, he was hit a lot in the backfield and at the scrimmage line his freshman season, and could hardly do anything as he looked rather slow, but he's improved a lot as we know by now. But Curry has improved too, he had a nice spring game running over tacklers and I mean that will be his style anyways. He's not a speed back and people already knew this, but rather a power back that will run over or through would be tacklers.
