re: Running back rotation next year

I think it will be hard to keep Emery and Davis off the field. I like Clyde, but those two guys will be just as good if not better than him.

Emery seems like the kind of guy that can play a role similar to kamara with the saints

it's just ensminger's scheme that will prevent this

Clyde will start off as the starter
Emery is going to likely start as a 2nd option
Curry or Ty Davis will emerge as our bruiser/short yardage back

Reminds me of 2014

Clyde will start like how Magee started

Emery will get touches like how Fournette got touches

Curry and Ty Davis will battle for the bruiser role like how Hilliard and Darrell williams battled

I think youre pretty spot on with this assessment.

will have a darrell williams tracjectory to his career if he is extremely lucky.

Do you guys think emery and Davis come in as 1&2 on depth chart?

It's rare for freshmen to come in able to handle the grind of the SEC. It requires a physical maturity that most don't have a few months out of high school.

LF had an NFL body when he got here and it took him a while to get going.

Brossette and CEH have gotten 96% of the carries from our RBs

NB4 56%
CEH 40%

Next year I see

CEH 60%
Curry/Emery/Davis will fight for the rest


We've been lucky not to have any injuries this year at RB. We also don't have a legit 3rd guy to give carries to if we wanted to.


Provens, i could see moving to DB. There was talks of that when he signed. But i do think they have a specific use for him on offense if they want to keep him there.

I've seen ceh progress as a better, more patient runner. still think he's a good one. the young guys will take time to really get going. they have to learn how to pass protect.

still, we'll start out much more optimistically than we did this year.

Also CEH could fricking EAT if we ever figure out how to execute a screen.

Watching Emery highlights, Destrehan has a better screen game than LSU.
