re: Too much hype too early for Fournette?

I guess you are worried that he peaked too early in the season. If he puts up solid numbers without highlight real moments later in the year, then perhaps a hot player with a big moment later in the season could overtake him.

Let's face it, LSU's schedule the next few weeks is lackluster. However, I think that sets up nicely for him. He'll have some games that he can simply get his yards and sit. Regardless, he needs a few good runs to keep voters watching.

What actually sets up nicely is that he can pad his stats in October, and will be on the biggest stage come November vs the 3 biggest contenders in our division.
