Fournette could make it look like he's a man running against 13 yd olds, but that didn't happen against Alabama or NFL teams.


Fournette was 7th in the nfl in rushing last year & 6th in yards from scrimmage.

What Fournette did at LSU with that passing game is more impressive than what Clyde did last year in the best offense in CFB history.

Alabama would have shut Clyde down too.

Umm, only thing about that is, they didn't.

Could Fournette have been great in last year's offense? Sure, maybe, we don't know. His skill set isn't essential to that offense. Burrow's not handing off 25 times a game to him.

We all think Clyde is a change-of-pace guy, but he led the SEC in rushing, as basically an afterthought in the scheme. That's pretty fricking amazing.
