LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire's first touch of the game on Saturday (Oct. 13) didn't start according to plan -- a carry for minus-1 yard.
But he rallied. Two plays later he chipped away for a 4-yard gain. And on the last play of the first quarter, Edwards-Helaire broke free for a 47-yard gain -- a new career-long. By the end of the game, the sophomore hometown running back tallied 145 yards as an integral part in No. 13 LSU's 36-16 win over No. 2 Georgia.
Edwards-Helaire credited much of his success to LSU's tempo offense -- giving Georgia less time to game plan for what LSU threw the Bulldogs' way.
