re: Does anyone here actually think LF couldn't run against Bama b/c he isn't good?

Fournette is a helluva back. There's no denying that. But the reality is that your OL last year, relative to Alabama's defense, wasn't anywhere nearly as good as LSU fans claimed they were. Not even close. Our skepticism about how Fournette might do next week shouldn't be interpreted as a slap against him. Until we see otherwise on the field, we aren't buying into your OL. If your OL doesn't do a better job this year, expect the same results.

I agree with this completely. Fournette can still be great and the LSU OL fail against the Alabama Defense. Or, the Alabama Defense can be so great as to shut down even a great RB.

I have no idea why some Alabama fans feel the need to denigrate their opponents. It doesn't even make Bama look better. It is ignorant.

I'm glad to see (and not at all surprised), that knowledgable Alabama fans can see the this differently.
