Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a decent back, which is damning him with faint praise.

The bulk of the carries walked out the door with Nick Brossette, but LSU recruited like gangbusters and brought in two of the top ten ranked backs in the country, John Emery and Tyrion Davis-Price.

Throw in the redshirted Chris Curry, and LSU is going with unproven but highly touted talent.
