Another thing you have to consider is fatigue. Sometimes in a game you will be faster than other times. Particularly if you are driving with your legs into a pile. Try doing that - the equivalent of doing squats - and then run a sprint shortly afterwards. Sometimes even after making a few cuts your legs will stiffen up a lot or just slightly but enough to affect your speed.

LF doesn't have Bo Jackson speed (not even Adrian Peterson has that) but he is very fast and looks noticeably more explosive to me than any other LSU back. When you factor that in with his natural power, size and his very impressive open field moves and agility, you have a rare package.

Kid is awesome and is only going to get better. I'm a Miles fan but was really frustrated to see Fournette taken out right after he did that damage. Should have keep feeding him the ball in my opinion.... maybe he was dinged or cramping. I like Magee but if Fournette is ready to go then no other running back is going to be the threat that he is.

Agreed. Outstanding teacher by all accounts and the results show on the field.

Hope Sam gets another opportunity.

He was a great player for LSU and we should all wish the best for these young men who had the choice of any school in the country yet chose to come play in the great state of Louisiana.

Thanks Big Sam for the passion you brought to Tiger Stadium and all the punishment you took and dished out on behalf of Louisiana State University. We all wish you the best in facing all of life's challenges and you will always be a great Tiger.

Sounds like a very good and grounded kid. He has a great attitude about his position at run heavy Curtis and came across as happy to have team success even if it meant some sacrifice on his part. Guys like this succeed more often than not even when they don't have as much talent as he does. Would be a great Tiger - let's hope.

Archie was a bad arse with the Saints and way way underrated. He had no team around him and was running for his life against the elite of the elite and still pulled off amazing plays.

I'm an LSU fan but I definitely agree about Berry and I think Dorsey is being underrepresented.

Also, it is laughable at this stage to put Manziel with Cam and Tebow. I know Cam had only one season but no one else in this discussion carried the kind of load he did during that season.

Don't remember the details but heard that Shaq dominated multiple assailants (thought it was some Dline) and thought it took place in a dorm and was over a girl - go figure.

Thought about this when there were the recent tough guy anecdote threads. Don't mess with ShaqFu

Thanks for sharing Canuck. That interview is hilarious. Sounds like an honest kid with an original personality.

Amen, but if you do want to critique interviews, compare it to an Eric Reid, Morris Claiborne or Keke Mingo interview and yeah... douchey might be the impression your left with. Personally don't care, actions speak louder than words so if he leave it all on the field then that speaks more to who he is.

Fair enough
