Of all the things Ed Orgeron said after LSU’s second scrimmage, the most notable was about his top-two running backs, juniors John Emery and Tyrion Davis-Price.
“Tyrion and John have been off and on. We need some consistency out of both of them. And we hadn’t got it really all camp.”
That’s concerning to hear as LSU closed out fall camp and began preparing for Saturday’s season opening game against UCLA (September 4, 7:30 P.M., FOX). Considering how highly touted Emery (No. 2 running back in the 2019 cycle) and Davis-Price (No. 8 in the 2019 cycle) were the fact that, three years later, we’re still waiting for one—or both— to emerge is disappointing especially for a program that has as rich of a history at the running back position.
