Blocking FB, TE and like, half the offensive line. These injuries affect a RB. Chubbs was direct, fournette's was indirect but my original statement stands.

A starting fullback and tight end being injured, when he was being lauded for being able to create on his own.

No running back would do all that great getting hit when the ball touches his gut...

Not Chubb nor Henry were getting +33 yards the way Alabama's front 7 was in the backfield as Fournette got every handoff.

False. Everyone was lauding the performance of the o-line up until the bama game when the TE was out and the FB was injured already and tried to go and only re-injured his knee and had to leave.

Look, I get it that UGA are frustrated not having won a NC in what seems like 50 years and now they have to deal with this manimal (Leonard Fournette) who already has more rushing yards in a single season than any other RB from Georgia (yes, including Herschel with 85 fewer carries... Dammit boy).

I don't care which way you slice it, the SEC's RB crop is at an all time level, right now.

So now lets change the subject for delusional LSU fans...

What would Fournette have had if he had the McNeese game and everyone kept healthy.

O/U 2500 yards?

How many clowns are there in this circus? Can you address the competition aspect? No injury, like I thought. No competition as I expected you'd try to defend.

My saying that Fournette getting 3 of his 200+ yard games against directional schools went totally ignored....

He did well in SEC play, but he never dominated like LSU fans thought he was going to.

He would have gone for 125-150 on about 15-18 carries against McNeese and been pulled in the late 3rd/early 4th. (Note that he had 4 carries for 29 yards when the game was called).

Also, if you give him (conservatively) half a yard more on every carry without both the TE and FB, then that is about another 125 yards.

He would have reasonably had about 318 carries for 2225 yards in 13 games.

To be fair, I never said he was injured. I said his season was affected by injuries. Which is still correct.

MSU is good, Auburn was hilariously awful defensively early in the season.

So one counts, other doesn't.
