Meanwhile Derrick Henry holds the SEC rushing record, did it on fewer attempts
And also averaged 1 less yard per carry and less TDs per carry than Fournette who also broke Herschel's record that year behind a far worse Oline and in 3 fewer games and 100 less carries. Add in receiving stats and Fournette unquestionably had the better year statistically while playing on a much worse team.

No one thinks Fournette is better than Henry.

This wasn't the tune LSU fans were singing going into that game on November 7, 2015. If I recall correctly, LSU was undefeated and ranked #2 in all of college football that night. It's not that he played for a "much worse team," it's that he shite the bed on the biggest stage of his collegiate career. He was a virtual non-factor in three straight losses. He made his name rushing against directional teams. When the going got tough, he quit on his team the very next year.
