For many fans (and players), it’s hard to get excited about the late-season cupcake week in November. Ed Orgeron, however, has come up with a fun way to drum up some interest in Saturday’s LSU vs. Rice game.

At his Thursday post-practice press conference, Orgeron teased a surprise ball-carrier at running back after the starters come out. This would presumably be a player deep on the bench or someone who doesn’t get to touch the ball very often.

As you can see in the tweets below, fans had some fun suggestions:

Who do you want to see carry the ball once the game is out of hand the starters can rest?

LSU-Rice is set for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff and the game will air on ESPNU.
