"There was a different look in Jonathan Allen's eye. His voice sounded a little different Wednesday.
The Alabama defensive end and the rest of the line is the centerpiece of perhaps the most anticipated showdown of the year. It's LSU's Leonard Fournette, the nation's No. 1 rusher versus the No. 3 run defense in the country.
By Wednesday evening, it was clear Allen wanted to play the game yesterday. Earlier in the day, he appeared live on ESPN's SportsCenter. Reporter Marty Smith asked him about the challenge of facing the Heisman front-runner at 7 p.m. CT Saturday night in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
"Going into a game like this, this is something we enjoy," Allen said. "We love physical games. We love angry backs. We are angry to get to the ball."
Allen on Wednesday evening was asked about the allure of playing someone who fits that description.
"Because it makes me angry," he said bluntly. "So we love that. Especially with the d-line and the front seven of the defense we play for, we love this. We love physical backs."
Allen described and "angry running back" as someone who's aggressive and he seeks contact instead of backing away from it.
Fournette's been known to toss would-be tacklers to the side while running for 193.1 yards per game. That's not on Allen's mind.
"We don't get hit," he said. "We hit them. I mean, that's how it is. We don't take the hits. We give the hits. So we're not worried about that."

Yeah, he skert!...

This guy didn't learn from that scrub on Auburn?

that scrub at AU was dissing LF. I did not read where he was disrespecting anyone.

Not by name, but the writing is all over the wall for anyone with an average IQ.

You'd think defensive players would learn not to run their mouths about LF.
Posted on 11/5/15 at 7:06 am to mrbroker
Hahahaha I find it amazing when people on either side get up in arms about quotes like this. What is he suppose to say, oh we have no chance,but hey if he want to tell LF7 he is gonna get hit, let's she how that turns out.

That's a bold strategy Cotten. Let's see how it works out for them.

And those men looked me in my eye and they said, ‘We got this, Jonathan.’ And I said … we said … I said, ‘Are you angry?’ They said, ‘I’m angry if you angry.’ I said, ‘We angry, then.’”

AU defender said he wouldn't be a problem, so did Bullard of FL. I can understand the confidence, if you don't have it then why play the game. I don't take this as disrespectful comment to LF....but, you are seriously mistaken if you don't think this will motivate LF even more. He prides himself on making hits and this guy is saying there is no way that will happen. Good luck with that. Going to be a lot of bruised players on both teams Sunday morning

The only one scares here is Brandon Harris. First time seeing a real defense and not that garbage one Steele puts out every Saturday.

17 tackles........
How many times does he get the chance to hit a rb? Once maybe twice a game?

Your boy Marcus Spears even jokingly said the Alabama D was better than 6 NFL teams'...you really think they fear ANY running back?..

No one is mentioning J.D. Moore - FB LSU
He is a beast who "if he plays" will deliver hits on the gump D that will make them wish they were home tongue fuking their cousin......as LF runs up 150 yards rushing.
Just sayin........
