The best thing going for LSU running backs this year is a running start.
Keiland Williams and Richard Murphy didn't arrive until the end of camp last season. Williams came on strong at the end, but Murphy never saw the field. Those two will be two of the Tigers' biggest offensive weapons in a backfield that is suddenly brimming with depth and versatility.

Do-everything senior Jacob Hester, 6 feet, 224 pounds, provides leadership and stability, and Charles Scott, a sophomore like Williams, can build on last year's experience. Though he is listed as a wide receiver, speedy sophomore Trindon Holliday, 5-5, 160, may take some turns at tailback. It's no wonder an overweight Alley Broussard left the team before camp.
