After injuring his hamstring late last week, LSU’s leading rusher, Clyde Edwards-Helaire looks to be ready to go against Oklahoma in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

Edwards-Helaire was a game-time decision but Tigers’ head coach, Ed Orgeron was confident and optimistic that his No. 1 back would be ready to go against Oklahoma.

Edwards-Helaire has been a force on the ground with 197 carries for 1,290 yards and 16 touchdowns. On top of his rushing abilities, Edwards-Helaire is a huge part of the Tigers’ passing game. With 50 receptions he trails only Justin Jefferson and Je’Marr Chase who have a combined 161 receptions. His 50 receptions are good for 399 yards and one receiving touchdown.

Joe Burrow’s Heisman campaign was assisted heavily by Edwards-Helaire as he is an ideal ‘Air-Raid’ running back. His combination of rushing and receiving abilities are going to keep Alex Grinch’s defense on their toes all night.

Oklahoma and LSU kickoff at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN. For more broadcast details click here.
