In your opinion. More than anything you can provide... NFL experts agree LF is better
Maybe they do but how would you know? NFL experts aren't on fringe websites you link here.

Look Chubb might be 1 and Fournette 1A or vise versa what we can agree on is they are both the best backs in the SEC, period! I threw out stats and take a look at the last category, total yards and td's. Can't get any closer then that! Love them both!
Chubb
Rushing
13G/219ATT/1594YRDS/7.1AVG/14TD
Receiving
13G/18REC/213YRDS/2TD
0 Return yards
Fournette
13G/187ATT/1049YRDS/5.5AVG/10TD
Receiving
13G/7REC/127YRDS/0TD
Kickoff Returns
24/625/1TD
Total Yards
Chubb
1807/16TD
Fournette
1801/11TD
You can't exactly compare total yards between the two because Chubb didn't get any chances on returns. That's the only reason they're even close in Total Yards.

Yea, it's kind of silly because kick returns aren't part of a running back. It should be a separate discussion.

To be fair is that Chubb wasn't even the starter until like 6 games in. LT started every game from jump didn't he. That says alot about the type of back chubb is.
Neither Chubb nor LF were the primary back in the first half of the season.

I assume you mean LF, and no he didn't start every game. He didn't start really toting the load until probaly game 5 or 6? Can't remember exactly

Fournette averaged 11.2 carries through the first 5 games, Chubb averaged 6.2 carries.

hmmmmmm....I haven't thought about that. We'll see how the rushing D's stack up at the end of the season to see if this would carry any weight. Seeing how Chubb/LF fair against that nasty Bama D will be a pretty good barometer.

More potential in the LSU offense. Better WRs and better OL.
We can make that same claim.

So, neither was the primary back like we've said? Go it.

That's fine and all, but he wasn't the starter. Which is what you said.
I've already said Chubb>LF as of now, for the record.

Correct, I would agree. Fournette got a few more touches, but no where near where I would consider him the feature back in the first five games.
More stats for first 5 games:
Chubb:
7.2 ypc
224 yards
44.8 yards/game
Fournette:
5.75 ypc
322 yards
64.4 yards/game

I never claimed Fournette was the starter.

Fournette will be better because richt is known for running his guys into the ground. He'll have multiple 35 carry games I expect.

And Chubb would still have more yards. Look....nobody can say definitively who the better back will be in 2 years. What I DO feel confident in saying is they are both good enough, that they will both go to the NFL early, and will both have good NFL careers. Also, I would be surprised if one of them did not get a Heisman....but who knows?

Except we won't really know that until he gets to the NFL because Les won't utilize him like he's suppose to, correct.

Why can't just all agree that Chubb and Fournette and are both great backs in great systems. We are comparing two players that are outstanding and either one could come out and lead the SEC. LF at the end of last year looked just as dangerous as Chubb and if his coach wasn't an idiot they would have whipped ND.

Key. And correct. Only time will tell who will have the better college career. What we DO know is that often a player that has the better college career does not have the better NFL career. Nobody can say definitively who the better running back is. Even after their college careers are over argument will be made for both. All you have to do is see Herschel verse Bo for that. They are both great running backs. Period.

The Notre Dame game doesn't concern me as much as the Arkansas game. Can you imagine how THAT game might have changed had Fournette gotten the ball more?
Last year Miles using Fournette was like buying a Lamborghini and then leaving it in the garage.
ETA
After looking at the Notre Dame boxscore again...I didn't realize Fournette only got 11 carries. Wow.
