LSU has traditionally always been strong at running back. They’ve also been successful using multiple running backs in a single season. The 2003 and 2007 national championship teams had a lead back sure, but plenty of other backs got their number called. Think Shyrone Carey, Alley Broussard or Keiland Williams.
The 2020 Tigers don’t yet have a lead running back. Chris Curry is the most experienced back and got the start in the Peach Bowl for an injured Clyde Edwards-Helaire; Tyrion Davis-Price is the leading returning rusher; John Emery was the No. 2 running back in America just two years ago.
