LSU coach Ed Orgeron thinks injured Cyde Edwards-Helaire will play

ATLANTA -- LSU coach Ed Orgeron said he's betting on having Clyde Edwards-Helaire available for the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on Saturday, but he's not sure how much he'll get from the star tailback in a playoff matchup against No. 4 Oklahoma.

Edwards-Helaire, LSU's top rusher, injured his hamstring earlier this month, and Orgeron said he still has not practiced. Edwards-Helaire did some work with the training staff and reported soreness afterwards, but Orgeron said he believes his junior will try to play if possible.

"Obviously, if Clyde's ready to play, we're going to let him play," Orgeron said.
