LF had 1,000 yards last year. You can say he has barely tapped into his potential, but 1,000 yards for a back isn't exactly commonplace at a school like LSU who runs by committee.


Ehhh, LSU will lean on a guy if he's strong enough. Jeremy Hill in 2013, Stevan Ridley in 2010, Charles Scott in 2008, Jacob Hester in 2007.

Fournette is more talented than all of those guys.

I'm not saying he won't be much better this year, just that the article has some guys who haven't taken any snaps, and a guys like LF and Cook who had pretty good numbers last year


He only got over 20 carries a couple times last year, and he's going to be used more this year.

Is LF LSU's top breakout guy to you next year? Like for me, a frosh LB who had 50 tackles last year isn't a breakout guy in 2015. A guy who took 10% of the snaps last year, who may breakout to play 60% of snaps this year and put up big stats is a breakout guy

Since this list is obviously trying to spread the wealth across the country, it should really be about the #1 guy who didn't have a great impact on LSU's season last year who will this year...to me at least. LF had a significant impact on LSU's season IMO. That's all I'm saying

He had 20+ touches in 3 games last year and averaged less than 14 touches per game. If his average isn't up around 20 this year Miles/Cam need to retire.
