real. If we had a pass attack, defenses would still key on him, but they would get torched instead of holding us to 3-and-out when our offense throws a pass.



Let's be real, LSU fans use this as a crutch and have repeated it so much even they believe it to be true.

Remember Buck Belue? Neither does almost anyone else. That's the UGa quarterback when Herschel was dominating college football. Not exactly Johnny Unitas or Dan Marino. You don't think the box was stacked when Herschel lined up in the I formation?

One other factor, every single defense that Herschel played against was recruited and schemed to stop the run since every team then had a run-first, pass-second offense. Half the defenses Fournette faces have been designed to stop the spread (I.e. With smaller, quicker players), so he should have easier sledding.

So stop with this "once in a lifetime" nonsense.

Fournette also broke Herschel's record by almost 100 yards and in 85 fewer carries
