I missed the game but saw his stat line

16 for 101 that's over 6 ypc.

Why didn't Fournette get 30+ carries specifically in the direction of Tray Matthews? Did Auburn control time of possession that much?

The greatest player in LSU history won't ever go to New York, I feel for him.

Because our coaches are idiots.

I still don't think he is close to 100% or even 80%. Seems to be taking himself off the field much more than last season. Beside the play calling is not helping him much either. Know the SEC Rant will laugh about the Heisman thing, but have to feel bad for the young man

He clearly isn't 100%.

He didn't look 100% and Auburn did a good job of getting off the field and limiting LSU's possessions.

I remember the 1974 game when we played Bo Jackson and he took himself out of the game after being abused over and over by our defense...he wasnt injured...he was just think WTF am I gaining by getting hit so hard...Im going to make lots of $$$. Our LBers Ralph Ortega and Glen Cameron just layed the wood to him every carry.

LF reminds me of the same. "why get hurt when Im getting paid dirt"...we will see how much he plays in the Swamp.

He's not healthy. I'm guessing that high ankle sprain is going to linger for the rest of the season.

Bigger question is why is Derrius Guice not getting more carries. He popped a 50 yarder early only to be put on the sideline and wasn't heard from again.

Yep. Only rest will allow it to heal. I just hope he doesn't hurt it worse and need surgery later.

Season is shot, I say give him rest and let him heal up. Let Guice get the majority of the load. You can see Fournette in pain. No reason to keep him out there without any hope of the season.

Pretty sure Bo Jackson was a child in 1974

He needs to just shut it down. Don't ruin your future for a sinking ship

Let the UF fans vent. They are lashing out at LSU to make up for the shite their team laid on the field yesterday.

Seems like coaches are giving lsu fans wat they wanted and passing more. Instead of using their best player

Are you serious? LF hurt his ankle then went out and kept playing. We just didn't give him the ball.
