We will need him to have a hell of a game.

Florida shut down Boobie who is one of the better backs in the league.

I’d like to see us run draws because auburn had some effective qb runs with Nix doing that.

He does a lot of juking and allows tacklers to get to him but not solid hits

He is a very good change of pace back and strong legs

Blocks well

Not a break away threat and imo not great in short yardage

Rather have Davis and Curry in short yard and on goal line

He's a good pass blocker. LSU will need him in the BF to protect Joe. Especially from the threat coming from both Gator DE's and blitz packages. I'm thinking our interior O/L line guys will more than hold their own......it's that threat from those DE's that concerns me.

You know they're going to dare Joe to throw.....right? Give Joe the nanoseconds and he'll make the throw.

Thank goodness CEH can break tackles at the LOS like he does.


Yes.
Some fans complain that he dances too much.....
But he has turned no gains/loss of yardage plays into positive gains.

That is huge.

He’s the first LSU starting rb that will not get drafted since when?

He will get drafted, not in top rounds, but cant see a team passing on him in late rounds. He's kind of tailor made for today's game, just has no explosion/top end gear.

That dude single handily kept Catholic in the state championship game against Rummel. A freak turnover by Rummel allowed Catholic to get that last second field goal after a short drive for the win.

Actually it’s saying a lot.

A RB that is not a good pass blocker and/or cannot pick up a blitz will create one of four things....

Incomplete pass
Pass interception
Sack
QB injury

We are a passing offense now.
A RB needs to be able to pass block to make this offense successful.

Half of this board would disown their daughter if they dated a black guy. That's what they said on the OT at least

Total Rushing YDS #9

I know individual stats are arbitrary and don't really matter but I hope Clyde gets 1,000 yards this year.

I say that bevause I think next year he will have to share much more of the work load with Emery and TDP.
