LF's potential....do you think he will surpass what Kevin Faulk produced

during his time as a tiger?
During my lifetime (36 yrs) Kevin Faulk was the best RB to play at LSU.

he has the potential to surpass Faulk but it would be silly to predict it right now.. any number of things could happen that would prevent him

If Fournette is as good as Jeremy Hill, I will be really happy.
Hill just ran for 1400 yards in basically 12 games. Why doesn't he get more love from LSU fans?
When have we seen a guy run for 1400 yards - the second highest total in LSU history?

He can but probably won't because of a smaller sample size. The game is different now than it was in the late 90s.
Jeremy Hill could've out produced Faulk but not in two years I a crowded backfield.(plus suspensions)

Yes, the potential is there.
Haven't missed an LSU home game in 21 years...Collins was the best pure talent I ever saw at RB.
LF can be better than him.

I loved Faulk, but Hill just shattered the expectation for the position this year. Go to The Rant and see the appreciation thread and his numbers. No running back at LSU compares...from Alexander, to Faulk, to Hilliard. People should not let whatever issues they may have with Hill the person (I don't have any FWIW) get in the way of their appreciation of Hill the player.
That being said, Fournette has the raw ability to be as good or even better that Hill just was. Hopefully he stays healthy, has a solid OL to run behind, etc.
And I'm 43...

Don't get me wrong , from a production standpoint Faulk is untouchable....but!
Collins had talent like I've never seen.

I could be wrong, but I don't think LSU played 13 games every year during the time Faulk played.

I was turned onto football by Herschel Walker's freshman season. Asked my brother who was our team. He said LSU. Been looking for our Herschel Walker ever since.
Thought I found it in Cecil Collins for about 3 games. Faulk filled the void admirably. Jeremy Hill has been probably the closest in terms of physicality.
But I truly believe Fournette will finally be the legendary big power/speed combo back I've been waiting to see in P&G for the last 34 years.

You're not wrong...they didn't. I'm not even sure of bowl performances were included by then...at one point they were not.
What makes Hill's season as a pure RB the best is is yards per carry...it's off the charts. The guy put up 1400 yards playing is 12 games (remember, he didn't take a snap in the TCU game) and almost none in game #2. He barely averaged 15 touches per game the whole season.
Faulk was an outstanding RB, but where he worth really shined was as a return man. Those combined yards are what make him untouchable in terms of numbers.
But make no mistake...Hill's 2013 is second to none at this point at LSU as far as RB's go.

Not to put too much pressure on the kid, but the first guy I thought of when watching him run was Bo Jackson. Power, speed, etc.
I can't wait for the 2014 season.

Man, we love him. He carried our offense in the Outback bowl. We may not have won that game without him.

Can he graduate high school first before we start putting him in conversation of LSU all time great? Jesus.

Fournette is a Bo Jackson/Herschel Walker type talent. If he stays healthy he's going to destroy some records.

Fournette has the potential to be the best running back LSU has ever had. He was an all-purpose nightmare at St. Aug. Cameron will have an elite receiving threat out of the backfield who can house it every time he touches the ball.

I saw Kevin practice and play in person several times...he was the team leader and one tough cookie...he kicked more than one players arse who crossed him...that said, he was not the physically dominating runner that I expect L.F. to be...the latter seems to have everything to be great from watching quite a bit of film on him...and from all appearances he's quite a fine young man already...and that means a lot to us old timers that want to be proud of all LSU athletes! I personally believe that all other former and future RBs will be compared to L.F. as the highest standard in many ways...jmho

He is going to kill him in receiving and receiving TDs. He's also going to be looking at 15+ carries a game for 3 years straight. He has the talent to do in three years, what Faulk did in four, he just needs the carries. He also has a shot at being KR.
I'd say 600 carries at 6.8 ypc (4080 yards)
100 catches at 10.4 ypr (1040 yards)
He's going to be a better version of Todd Gurley and Trent Richardson.
