a decent Wisconsin.

Wisconsin finished the season 9th in the country and had the 4th best rush defense in the country These arguments always make me laugh. People will discard or devalue whatever games they need to discard or devalue to make whatever point they're trying to make sound more compelling. Fournette was not a top 5 draft pick as a RB because he's a one cut, not very athletic back. And you included Notre Dame but don't include plenty of other teams he ran all over that were much better than Notre Dame was his freshman season

Do I need to include all of Peterson's terrible games in college or make the argument that he was pretty underwhelming as a college player after his freshman season? Of course not, because that argument would be ridiculous.

Some Bama fans may be tired of all of the shite you guys have talked about Henry and all of our guys really and would love to throw it back at you at the expense of Fournette. I don't really care much what guys do after they leave college. I care about what they do in school but I can see the lure of attacking Fournette.

I enjoy it when our players are successful at the next level.

I think Bama fans dislike any player that is in the limelight but not on their team. Especially ones they wanted but didn't get. I know a bama fan in our FFB league that inherited a team with Cam on it. He said he didnt have any keepers. lol, I just smh. FTR Henry was on my roster last season because I handcuffed him to Murray.

I think you are letting your dislike of Bama as a program cloud your judgment. We may not admit it about Cam but we know he was possibly the most dominant SEC player of our lifetime. I could say the same about LSU fans considering the overwhelming amount of shite flung at Derrick Henry in his Heisman year if not more so.

There was literally nothing leonard could do about that. The defensive lineman was in the backfield at almost the same time he got the ball. That's the offensive lineman getting whipped is what that is. Leonard fournette is the starting back from day 1. Tj yeldon better get used to riding the pine bc he has no shot at playing over fournette. Yeldon is a joke compared to fournette.

Leonard Fournette has another good day. From blackanteal.com
"The rookie running back looks ready to lead the Jaguars run-heavy offense already, and he hasn’t even played in a preseason game.

Almost every day of camp, Fournette broke out on at least one long run that got the crowd excited. Today was no different, as he received a hand-off to the right side and turned what looked like a dead play for no gain into a touchdown on a backside cut move:

Yeah

The play above wasn’t Fournette’s only touchdown of the day. In red-zone drills, Fournette took a hand-off on the one yard line and dove over the offensive and defensive line for a touchdown."

Yay! Our illiterate player committed a personal foul! And then the inevitable no call!

College football is a great study into the human mind

Leonard Fournette is a great kid, who is hated by two fanbases that actually had success against him

It's so interesting



In before I don't hate him, I just post about him 6 months after he is removed from college..........

Fournette threads are just catnip. Even those of us who generally don't want to needle and prod get caught up in using it to upset people. People aren't riled up by Fournette, they just like the inevitable reaction to looking at Fournette.
I usually agree with you

But you are 100% wrong here. LF eats up the minds of Bama fans. Which makes no sense He is a great kid who never mocked nor beat Bama. Yet there is genuine hate. Y'all try to sell it as trolling, but it's clear dislike

Lineman missed his block. This would have happened to any NFL back...

What's funny is the same butthurt people in this thread (LSU fans) also think the Jadeveon Clooney hit was awesome.

That's why I hate all of the experts and fans talking about a kid being NFL ready physically. They don't get any bigger than Fournette and those guys are just laying the wood to him.

Auburn and Alabama fans are pretty happy with their 5-1 overall record against Leonard Fournette over the span of his career.

Funny how they just want to Cherry pick this one play. His O-line didn't block for shite which wasn't his fault. However Leonard is having a great Camp. I saw many great runs that didn't get shown. He has moved to co-starter and Fred Taylor was quoted saying Fournette is a badass. Again continue pushing the cherry picked narrative. But it was a big hit. Welcome to the NFL, Leonard.
