re: Why all this talk about LF7?

What you're describing is good recruiting, which no one ever accused Miles of being incapable of. We're saying that all that NFL talent was squandered there. The fact that so many LSU guys are productive on NFL rosters while LSU has dick-fist to show for it bolsters that point.

LSU underutilized pretty much all of them.

This is stupid. Those guys all had success at LSU. LSU's entire team was simply not as good as Bama's on a year to year basis. Bama's offensive lines and front sevens have consistently been better than LSU's and that has showed itself in the on field results.

Coaching has absolutely been a factor but to extrapolate that LSU has wasted talent because they have failed to overtake Bama is not a valid logical argument.

With Mett, we had a thousand yard rusher and two thousand yard receivers in the same season. We simply couldn't overtake Bama who has consistently had the best overall TEAMS year in and year out. No one can suggest that LSU's offensive lines have been on par with Bama's. And the Mett years were an exception. Our QB play has been awful and that has crippled this team for many years.

Good players have had good and great college careers at LSU. Stick LSU in the Big 12 and now they will have conference titles to go along with it. That's really the only difference. The fact is, Bama has been better and deeper and is on a historical run right now. That doesn't mean that LSU's stars have been underutilized or underachieved. It's a dumb argument, plain and simple, and a self serving one for a Bama fan base who wants to utilize that theme to bolster their recruiting against LSU. The reality is LSU has been very close against Bama a number of times in this stretch and the potential is absolutely there. We need better Oline talent and to keep in state players from going to Bama. Unfortunately we are struggling on both of those fronts.

Ah I didn't know Lacy was injured. All it would've taken was a bama fan to actually say something knowledgeable like that to get me thinking different about Lacy. I was actually wondering why he was trending downhill, now at least that makes some sense. I wish the same could be said for Richardson and Henry though.

LSUs O line being dominated by Bama's D line is the reason for fournette not having success. You can't put the blame on the backs skill when he can't get past the LOS to demonstrate any skill. He'll be better in the NFL so long as he's running behind a good O line.

at what

Didn't Ingram just have a 150 yard game?

This is an average moral victory thread at best.

I couldn't name an LSU back.

You can tell Henry has made the most of his opportunities though by checking his ypc. I know you don't believe in ypc though because it hurts your argument.

---

So you believe in ypc.
Henry 2015 ypc 5.6
LF7 2015 ypc 6.5

yet Henry won the Heisman playing 13 games prior to Heisman voting
LF7 played 11 games prior to Heisman voting

LF7 only played in 7 games this year 2016 and was hobbled all year with high ankle sprain

Henry won the Heisman because he performed in Big games

---

Henry ran behind the better BAMA line and also Henry did not run against the great BAMA defense behind a LSU offensive line.

No argument Alabama is a better team and has a better interior line both offense and defense.

Henry played on a much better team.

This whole thread is to down play the ability of LF7 and the fact is he is a elite running back who had a great career

Bottom line:

Henry had more total yards (2310), touchdowns (28), and performed better in ranked games. It's so simple. Oh and broke Bo Jackson and H Walkers record. FFS he def earned it.
