Clyde is steady and always executes, but he is not explosive.

Not one play last night. I'm wondering what is holding back "the best back in the country."

You made this up

He “got small” several times last night and just blew through the line for chunk yardage.

someone posted his 40 time in HS a while back and it was in the high 4.3s


he looks like a high 4.5 low 4.6

You mean a QB in an RPO offense moving his RB to get a read on the coverage?

CEH is in there because he can catch, run, and block. He may not be the best pure anything, but he gives the offense the most versatility.

If you watch the last 3rd & 17 play for the TD -- it was CEH's KEY block that allowed Burrow to get out of the slammed pocket and pass to the WR

Burrow gave props to CEH for that block during post game interview.

if LSU had wanted to be more balanced, with the way they were passing the ball, CEH would have eaten on the ground.

Consider this, on LSU's last 2 scoring drive, they ran 12 plays. 10 were passes. The second-to-last one was capped by a CEH 12 yd TD run that was wide the frick open.


Never have i seen a fan base complain about a running back coming off a 5.8 ypc game.

No one is talking about how terrible Fournette was, the guy this board clamored over all offseason. He should never get carries.

Yes, he did have a good block on that play

He also whiffed on one that cost us a TD.

Helaire has a place in this offense, I just don’t think it should be as the feature back, meaning that we shouldn’t give him 3 plays in a row attempting to isolate him in the flat.

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.

An occasional play outside the tackles for him is definitely needed to keep them honest, but we ran at least 6 passes in the flat to 22, and he didn’t even catch 3 of them, and never made the first defender miss.

See my post above. That’s what people should be complaining about (if they have to complain about anything). LF tries real hard and give great effort but he just isn’t in the same league as the 2 Fr.

I think CEH is getting far more criticism than he deserves. He's not a huge home run threat but he's got great lateral quickness and a NASTY spin move. He also is a powerful runner, a decent pass catcher, and a good pass blocker. He's quite obviously the most complete back on the team at this point imo.
