Love the confidence.

Don't love it though because we haven't been able to do anything on the ground against y'all the last two years.

I don't usually buy in to extra motivation type stuff. But, Alabama's defense has it out for LF. LF vs Alabama is a storyline before during and after each LSU vs UA game and HAS to fire these guys up. He's such a good football player that simply seeing him trot out to the huddle gets everyone's attention.

I honestly cannot believe he said that. Glad he did though. I kind of wish he would have said "Alabama's front 7 is a bunch of soft laced curtain twat wads".

He wants to walk off the field at the end tho, not be carried off. That's why he didn't say that lol

If he said that..he can't be that bright to give any extra motivation to someone who has made you look like shite for the past 2 years.

It was a "fact or fiction" game FFS.

What do you expect for him to say? "Fiction"?

It's like our fans get offended other fans and players hope or desire to win. We aren't crowned yet, so we play to win the game.

He has to say fact. Saying fiction there makes him look like a total wuss.

This. I watched the interview, and ystar nailed the context.

LF7s a good kid, and knows better, like our kids

Obviously he had to say fact. It's not a big deal at all. I was saying how he's such a big part of the game that the defense really really really takes it personal that he doesn't get a damn yard.

Most of these things are just for the fans and the players have enough to worry about that it's just noise. IMO, anything coming from LF will have them on fricking edge. They're pissed that they gave up over 100 on the ground last week. And their next game is against a kid who is so good that you can literally judge your worth by how well he does against you.

Alabama is going to bust their asses in an attempt to keep him from running for a single yard. I doubt him saying its a fact that LSU will win is going to make them dudes happy.

Agreed. Our front seven will most definitely take it personal. Our front line guys have been in beastmode all year anyway but Fournette is gonna find it very difficult to even duplicate last year's performance. Barring a meltdown from Jalen I really like our chances.

Not a big deal. He had to say that. I would have expected one of ours to do the same.

It's not a big deal and I'm not offended. I wouldn't expect him to say anything else.

But what's the harm in using it for a little extra something? I hope the players hear it etc.
