LSU coach Ed Orgeron said the Tigers’ starting running back Sunday against Miami will either be senior Nick Brossette or sophomore Clyde Edwards-Helaire, although “whichever one starts, the other one’s going to get a lot of time.”
Neither back has recorded a touchdown in his LSU career, but Orgeron said at the start of preseason camp that Edwards-Helaire was “dynamite.” The Catholic High graduate had nine carries for 31 yards in 2017 — a limited number behind eventual NFL second-rounder Derrius Guice.
Orgeron said Edwards-Helaire will return kickoffs for LSU, and he will share punt-return duties with Texas Tech transfer Jonathan Giles.
