I remember reading on the board about two weeks ago that he sustained an injury of some sort, a hamstring? I was looking on your board to find more info but could not find anything. What is his status going into the playoff?
I think y'all can beat OU without him but might need him in the championship game, assuming you TCOB in the Peach bowl. Seems like he is a very important part of the offense with the way they split him out wide to create mismatches and the fact that he is a valuable check down with his pass catching capability. Not to mention, he a hard runner. What is the word on his availability for the playoff? How are your backups? Its Davis-Price and John Emery?

Last news is he us playing

E said he’ll play. TDP is our Downhill bruiser, and Emery is our Do it all slasher guy. Both are capable backups, and both are going to be a REAL problem in the future.

I hope he plays and has a great game.

If I had to guess, he doesn't play this next game but is back full strength to play Clemson.

Guessing he won’t play unless we need him. TDP to start.

Nobody knows. I would guess he'll play limited snaps

Clyde got 50 percent chance he plays but I'm not worried. Got 3 backs on roster that can handle it. Takes all 3 these guys to do what Clyde can do

Won't need him at all for Oklahoma or Ohio State. Will need him for Clemson.

Got Curry and Ty Davis price that can handle it no problem. Two bruising hard hitting runners.

Honestly I think LSU wins this game easily with or without him. I wouldn’t even consider playing him and focus 100% on getting him ready for Jan 13

CEH will be a huge loss. No doubt about it! But, shouldn't need him against the defenseless Okies. I believe he's a must have if LSU is to have a legitimate shot at beating OSU or Clemson.

So the coaches just said they think he will play. My bet is they do the same thing with CRH as y’all did with Swift to us. We had to prepare for him, which takes away preparing for other players, because he was supposed to play but was really just a decoy. I think that is what we do with CEH because I don’t think he will be a 100%, and if your hamstring is 100% and you go all out on it. Good chance you pop it again. And CEH is a violent cutter and spin moves his ham strings need to be 100%

As others have said, the last thing anyone on the coaching staff has said is that Clyde will be able to play. Not clear if he actually will. I would like to think that the stable of young talented backs behind him can do enough to overcome a depleted Oklahoma defense, so he can rest and be ready for the title game.

Maybe as a decoy.
