So Bama Fans, Do you really think LF is average

speed wise? There was a thread on your board where many posters were saying that he is probably in the 4.5 range......
Just curious....when was the last time you seen him run down from behind....he has had at least 8-10 long runs over the last 8-10 games against several different teams...do all of those teams have db's with 4.5 speed or worse?

All kidding aside, LF will get his 150 against Bama. He's too good, and he is too important for your offense, for it not to happen. The deciding factor in the game will be how many rushes it takes him to get there. If he hits 150 after 25 carries or so, y'all win. If it takes him 40 or more to get there, we probably win. Anything in between is a toss-up.

Us saying he's average is just as dumb as you guys stating Alabama's defense is average and the front 7 is mediocre

No, he is legit.

Here are last year's 40 results from the combine for RBs
LINK
Exactly 3 people ran faster than a 4.5
You LSU fans are so frickin insecure. This isn't the hand timed, eye ball test measuring system of the 90s where everyone ran a 4.4 and under....4.5 is really frickin fast. Saying LF runs a 4.5 is a compliment for someone his size.

He's fast enough to be the best.
But I doubt he'll run a 4.4 at the nfl combine in 2017.

He's the best RB in the nation. Be happy. And I don't know what kind of 40 he runs, but 4.5 is plenty fast for a RB.

I don't think there is anyway that he gets 40 carries. Will probably be around 25-30 if I had to guess. Even against Bama, Miles wouldn't run him that much. We have two very good backups that are still going to get their touches. No they're not LF, but I still see no way LF approaches 40 carries in any game with the depth we have.

Nobody thinks LF is average anything.
They do think they can sell out to stop the run and Harris can't beat them with his arm, which is where they are wrong.

Fair enough, but the metric still applies to total rushing yards for your team.

Actually, we think the D-line is good enough that we don't have to completely sell out to stop the run.

While I agree on this, I don't believe any of those rb's were in his class....that's the difference.
Unless you think all the db's he has played have been slower than 4.5. When he breaks away...unless they have an angle, they don't make up ground on him....and in many cases, he pulls away. He isn't 4.2....but he isn't 4.5 either....and at that size....

This is where you're wrong. We don't think we will have to sell out to slow your rushing attack down to the point where it won't win the game.

We have the best offensive line in the SEC

And we have the best defensive line in the SEC. Let's just wait and see what happens.

while I agree with you on his carries, and I do think bama will hold him "in check" for most of the game.....and he will probably have his usual big gain....and finish in the area you said around 150 or so.....
unless this happens. I feel the deciding factor will be BH. If he can continue to improve and make big plays with his arm and feet....it's going to be awfully tough to just focus on LF...and that's what makes LSU so much more dangerous with the emergence of BH.

This I could agree with. I think if we get 250 on the ground we are in a strong position to win. I believe it's important we get that because our passing game at this point plays off our running game. I haven't seen Harris be able to throw without a threat to run the football (no one has been able to stop our run game yet). I'm not saying he cannot do it, but for me to be confident I'd need to see a successful running game so that Harris's play-actions and bootlegs will maintain there effect on the defense.

Do you think 4.5 is "average"?
What do you think Fournette's 40 time is?

This question implies a general lack of football understanding on your part.

It won't matter what he runs at the combine, as long as he doesn't blow it. There's more than enough film of him running away from DB's.
Hell, Jeremy Hill ran a 4.66.
