We were a 20 point favorite against South Carolina. We are a 16 point favorite against Western Kentucky. Don't assume we're supposed to win this game by 50. Our best player needs to play this game.

This is like having a really nice car in the garage and being afraid to drive it.

The simple answer is no, if the game is in hand, sure sit him down in the 3rd Quarter. DG and DW will get some first half carries as well.

Fournette and Debo should switch positions for this game.

correct. If we're up by three scores at the end of third quarter, we can rest him (and even then I don't want Les to take his foot off the gas with Fournette's backup). Until then, ride him.

Even if he touched the ball 100 times this weekend he will still get two full weeks of rest

Too all the dumb arse people saying no play fournette you guys have no common sense.

He needs rest for the people that say no then all you care about him winning the hesiman trophy. I care about winning the chip. As soon as fournette gets hurt you guys will come on here saying les ran him into the ground.

Alot of you fools have never played football if we have stable of running let's use them.. you guys realize that he will play for us next year..

I rather keep fournette fresh for the bama game

Should Fouurnette sit this week? It would give him 2 full weeks of rest going into Bama. Also no chance of injury heading into the final stretch of the season. Let Guice and Williams handle WKU.

Stay in rhythm. Practice the same. Study the same. Play the same.
Just take him out a bit earlier.

7 of the top 22 rushers have as many or more carries than LF.
And I would think CLM will monitor his carries closely as he has been reminded by the entire sporting community more than once

That's funny, this morning I was just thinking about what a fearsome linebacker LF7 would be.

it will be like every other game - miles will rush him as much as he needs to to secure they victory.

against SC he came out after the first series in the 3rd quarter. against florida he was in the whole game. and no one else got a lot of carries.

against WK expect the SC scenario. he'll come out as early as the end of the 2d half if we're handling WK and they can't handle our other RB's.
