And I think Bo Jackson's freshman year stats are about what the expectation for Fournette should be. He compares favorably to all of those guys above though, which is ridiculously exciting.

I can't see Les giving him enough carries to be in the All-American talk, but he will get the most carries on the team. I bet he has similar numbers to Jeremy Hill from last year (remember that Hill basically lost two games worth of carries due to suspension).

you can't calculate 40yd/100m from either time, both take different strategy to run and the 100m starts from blocks, not 3 point stance, and the 100m is ran in track spikes

I tend to agree with those of the "it's a different game" school.

Herschel Walker played for a guy that smoked cigarettes on the sidelines. Those old schoolers like Coach Dooley (who, btw, had one of the greatest southern accents of all time) would have been considered foolish to NOT runa stud like that 25-30 times a game.

That said, and even though I'm not a star gazer, I honestly do think that LF running behind this particular O line (which is IMHO not mentioned nearly as much as it should be when his 2014 expectations are assessed), and being spelled by the likes of Magee and Hilliard, etal, will look like Cecil Collins sans the pervertedness, mental retardation, and broken leg.

For Fournette.

May be wrong but he with drew from the 100 meters finals his junior yr. 'cause of a ham tweak and last yr. (his sr. yr.) the coach wouldn't let St. Aug kids participate. I would have loved to have seen his time in one of these finals.

Those numbers are frickin amazing.

BUT

I believe we all know Hill doesn't run 4.59. At least he didn't look like 4.59 to me when he was running through, around and by SEC defenses.
