Anyone that doesn't know the answer to the OP's question is not a very astute observer of college football! jmho

Lucky for you guys.

Didn't the LSU backup break the school's single-game rushing record while breaking his foot off in the A&M defense's arse?

We've all seen the Fournette gif as a true freshman plowing through the hapless A&M defender Matthews.

I guess A&M is too stupid to know when to say enough is enough...

More bullshite. Texas Tech and E Michigan were the worst two rushing defenses the entire year.

Kind of but not really.

Eastern Michigan gave up 300+ rushing yards 5 times that season including 500+ to Army.

Syracuse gave up 200+ in 7 games that season.

I could go on but you get the point. I do believe Fournette will have a successful NFL career but his numbers are definitely inflated by putting up stats against defenses like this. He carried the ball 20+ times in pretty much every single one of those games.

Stop with this bullshite. Herschel was the tailback in a Vince Dooley offense.


The only problem is Lf has a much higher YPC than Herschel (6.2 vs 5.3).

Have you ever watched highlights of Herschel in college?
There were a lot of guys that looked like Will Muschamp and Kirby Smart. College football wasn't fully integrated and they had a lot of guys that ran well above 5.0 in the 40 yd dash chasing Herschel.

What do you think LF would do against those guys? Use your head man.

CB reminds me of this Chris Farley type who showed up to the LSU/Bama game in '15 at the Irish Hound Pub in Denver who completely embarrassed us (it was our venue) and himself. We had to ask him to leave. And there were only Bama fans there.

I'm down. I like LF7 ... always have. He's a class act. But he ain't no Herschel. He almost has Herschel speed in the open (remember HW was a track star) but getting to the open is not LF7's strength. That being said, I can't wait to watch him when he gets to the NFL.

If he ends up in NY, AFC east other than NE is pretty weak vs the run and the Jets can run the ball a little. I think he would edge Henry in overall production but it wouldn't be by some asinine number.

I wouldn't mind seeing LF fall to the 28th pick so he could join Spencer Ware in the back field. He would flourish with Eric Bieniemy coaching him.

Because he played the 128th and dead last rushing defense in Eastern Michigan, 127th in Texas Tech, 100th in USCe, 92nd in Syracuse, and WKU.

You think boogers ypc (which is ignored with Ingram this year) would have been higher or lower if he played better than the worst rushing defenses his one big year? Or higher or lower if he carries it as many times as Walker.

Booger is great when he can run through huge holes against shite rush defenses and doesn't have to use his subpar vision.

Give zero fricks which one does!!! Both are SEC RB's that I like so I hope they both do well and have injury free careers.

This weird-arse obsession that Bama and LSU fans have over players in the NFL, like it still affects the college, is fricking retarded and really shows that neither fan base has a life.

All of those games he was resting on the bench by the midfle of the third quarter, so it could have been worse.

Yup. Not like Herschel did much after UGA. Seriously. I was more impressed with his MMA career and multi-personality book than with his NFL career.
