Lache's CFB carries I've been wondering how many carries a game Lache is likely to get, whether at Auburn or LSU. He wants other big time RBs to go wherever he goes, so he's clearly okay with splitting carries. Lache's an exciting back with great explosiveness, but I wonder how well he projects as a feature back. Thoughts?
Re: Lache's CFB carries Based on size alone he looks like an every down back to me. Of course he'd obviously be best in a 1-2 punch like LenDale White/Reggie Bush.. but he looks like a feature back to me. He's 5'11 and approaching 200 lbs.. and he's got excellent 'wiggle' so he rarely gets hit hard. Combine that and great vision.. i'm ready to give him the feature label.
Re: Lache's CFB carries My guess is he would get around 15 carries (18-20 touches) a game. He's got good hands and if they could do half back screens with him he could take it to the house if he gets it in the open field.
Re: Lache's CFB carries I think he could be a feature guy eventually but he'd make the most of his talents splitting time with a guy to pound the middle so he could work the edge.
Re: Lache's CFB carries I think it will be in the mid teens. As long as he makes the most out of those touches he wont need anymore to help the offense. Reggie averaged 15 cpg and 2 rpg; the cpg average is inflated due to 2 20+ games at the end of the season. With the amount of other options LSU will have, Lache's numbers might be slightly lower. Lache is more of an every down back than Reggie, but I think we will use him the a similar way as Reggie such as a diversion. I forgot what game it was in, but Reggie took a fake pitch that the entire defense bit on which allowed the other RB to break free. By the time the defense realized what was happening, Reggie was already celebrating his part in the play. While one guy gets the stat, the other guy allowed it to happen.
Re: Lache's CFB carries im not even thinking about the amount of carries because i dont think we are going to get him....kid's kinda dancing around all over the place right now
Re: Lache's CFB carries Well, I do!! I think we get Lache & Storm both. I'm feeling positive today, go with it!!:thumb:
