A mix of power and speed, Lacy is more than just a complementary back. His speed makes him the perfect change of pace to Trent Richardson's brute style, but the 6-foot, 220-pounder isn't afraid to dip his broad shoulders and lower the boom himself as he did on more than one occasion Saturday afternoon as he totaled 134 yards of total offense and one touchdown.
Two first-quarter plays encapsulated what Lacy brings to the table.
On Alabama's second possession, Lacy caught a screen pass from AJ McCarron, patiently waited for his offensive linemen to carve a trail through the defense and raced 48 yards down the field to help Alabama take a quick 14-0 lead.
Two possessions later, he took a handoff and raced up the middle for a 20-yard gain. It wouldn't be a signature Lacy run without his perfected spin move, which he used twice during the run to gallop into the Kent State secondary.
"Yeah, I did a few spin moves out there today," Lacy said after the game with a sheepish smile.
It's that spin move that earned him the nickname "Circle Button" from his teammates, a reference to the circle button on a Sony Playstation controller.
