Maybe LSU will be without its star running back after all.
LSU radio’s Gordy Rush said on-air before the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl that the Tiger’s leading rusher, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, will only be used in emergency situations.
The emergency situation wasn’t specified, and could mean a number of things. If the Tigers find themselves losing to the Sooners at any point, or struggling to move the ball offensively, he could be utilized.
