I see many Alabama fans downplaying Leonard Fournette's current and future greatness because he (and the entire offense) has struggled against Alabama. Common sense obviously tells you that a running back is only as good as his offensive line, play-calling and an offensive gameplan in it's entirety. Regardless, I have put together his stats below:

STATS
2014: 21 carries, 79 yards
2015: 19 carries, 31 yards, 1 TD

This brings me to my next question... Should Mark Ingram's "greatness" be downplayed after his awful career against Auburn?

STATS
2008: 15 carries, 64 yards, 2 TD
2009: 16 carries, 30 yards ("Heisman" season)
2010: 10 carries, 36 yards, 1 TD, 1 lost fumble

I'll hang up and listen...



ETA: Player performance is taken into account and not game outcome.

I don't even think Bama fans would go that far. He was a solid running back, but great?

Leonard Fournette is 10x the player Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson, TJ Yeldon or Derrick Henry will ever be.

I agree that Leonard Fournette is better than the other guys listed, yes.

Except that one was considered a great back, and one wasn't.

Therein lies the disparity.

He won the Heisman, lead us to Natty and is all things considered is doing well in the NFL. I think at most schools that automatically qualifies you in the "great" category.

So you add Ingram's receiving fumble, but not his 140 yards receiving? Holy Framing batman
