                                                  Injury news reported

     Reports coming out of LSU are that Clyde Edwards-Helaire has suffered a non-contact injury yesterday at practice.  Apparently, the junior running back injured his hamstring while juking a defender. The seriousness of the injury is unknown at this time. Coach Orgeron will meet with the media later today with more information. This is huge news as the Tigers will be playing Oklahoma ten days from now in the College Football Playoffs. 
      Even though LSU has been known for their explosive passing attack this season, lead by Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow, Clyde as been a major piece to the Tigers offensive attack puzzle.  He has rushed for 1,290 yards with 16 touchdowns, has 399 yards receiving.  His play has added balance to LSU's attack, and he has made several big plays at key moments throughout the season.  It would be a huge blow If this reported injury would force him out against the Sooners. If so, true freshmen, Tyrion Davis-Price & John Emery Jr. will need to carry the load in LSU's "Next Man Up" mentality.
