We've had freshman backs come in and look as good and in some cases better than Fournette has so far.

who?

Kevin Faulk's freshman year through 6 games:
66 carries 366 yards 2 TDs rushing and 2 catches for 21 yards

Fournette:
93 carries 504 yards 6 TDs rushing and 5 catches for 86 yards. Fournette is on pace for a 1000 yard season. What more do you want? That is an exceptional year for a freshman, especially in the SEC

name another LSU freshman RB who has done better at this point in his career

Yeah, the only one you could argue is Vincent, who did not immediately play until Addai and Carey got hurt. Vincent was a beast in the second half of the season though.

Nothing. I think he is really good and will probably get better. I just haven't seen any evidence of "once in a generation." That kind of talk is based on what he did in Tad Gormley and it should be left there. Just my opinion.
