#LSU ran Fournette 9 times on second-and-long (+7) vs. Bama and Arkansas. He gained a combined 4 yards (that includes a 13-yard run also).

The issue is that our "all-american" center was getting his stuff shoved in both games. Hell, on the first run for Fournette last week, the NT for Arkansas bulldozed Pocic 7 yards deep right into Fournette causing a 4 yard loss.

It isn't just about stacking the box, but the OL getting whipped. When there is no creativity, and Fournette is having to wait for the toss to get to him before getting going, of course he's going to get destroyed when the OL can't even hold position for one second.

That all said, LSU lost the Arkansas game on defense as much as on offense, yet everyone wants to blame the offense for everything. People want to blame depth when it was in the first 1.5 quarters that LSU's defense was getting run over.
