This will definitely hurt LSU as they will need to rely on their running game in the early part of the season until their QB situation is worked out.

Still lots of talent at RB at LSU, but this is a big loss for the team.

Not that big a deal really. They have more talented running backs than highroller has aliases.

they do have loads of talent, but broussard had the most experience of their RBs, so he will definitely be missed.

Sorry Dude,

Without question Joe Addai is the most experienced of the group. Most career carries, longer term in Baton Rouge. Excellent blocker, good speed and hands, tough as nails. Without a doubt LSU's best all-around back.

Sorry Dude,

I took into account things like he scored 10 of your team's 20 rushing TDs (next highest was Addai with 3). But small things like TDs aren't important, are they? Also, was your team's leading rusher last year and a pre-season 2nd team All-SEC selection this year.

However, the injury does open the door for Justin Vincent to see if he can perform like he did 2 years ago.

You can be a smartass all you like, but it is totally unnecessary. I only posted my original reply because your post was inaccurate. Scoring TDs does not constitute experience. It simply means that he received the bulk of the TD opportunities. Joe Addai, regardless of TDs scored or pre-season awards, is unquestionably the most experienced (and best all-around) back at LSU.

That being said, Alley Broussard will be missed far more than other posts are making it seem. Sure, LSU has depth at RB, but Alley wears down defenses like a battering ram. His combination of size, speed and quick feet is very rare. I would guess that before this injury he was the top NFL prospect of the bunch.

wasn't trying to be a smartass cie, just giving you the same tone you gave me. you may think that addai is the best all-around (he certainly is now), but IMO broussard would be the most valuable RB especially early in the season when you need time to get your inexperienced QBs time to get settled in.
