He may not have had flashy stats, but from watching him play it's clear he's very talented and will be a great runner for us for at least the next 3 years. The future is bright

What I saw from him in his first college game against a good defensive line with 9 in the box was what I had hoped he would do. Other than the dropped pitch he looked as I hoped he would look.

He showed me they hype is probably all deserved. He looked like a man not a boy.

He hasn't had to deal with a ton of adversity when it comes to his own abilities. Of course he's disappointed. He probably feels that he let the team down.

But he's the type of person that will become a better player because of it. I have no doubt.

Has to be a world of pressure on a 18 year old kid


Much of that pressure is created in places just like this one....

No. The hype is created by all outside his circle. Although I hope he will be great one day, he has to adjust to the college game first. These next two games will hopefully be a big help.

Relax, everybody. LF is just saving it for the Alabama game.

He faced a stacked box for the most part and except for a couple of things, got the most yards he could. He seems like the type of person who's grounded and will learn. I couldn't believe some of the knee jerk reactions posted on the score board Saturday night.

I think he was shocked by the speed of the college game, that's it he'll be fine!

I think it will be interesting to see how we use him the next two weeks before SEC play begins. I wasn't impressed with the way we decided to incorporate him into the offense against Wisky. It was bland & predictable at best.

Game looked a bit fast for him and kind of seemed like he was pressing. These next 2 games should do wonders for his confidence. Let him find the endzone that 1st time.

No way the kid could live up to the sky high expectations placed on him what with all this "Buga Nation" and "6 Heisman" BS some you stupid fricks have been spouting off for weeks in advance of this game.

He'll be fine once he finds his comfort zone...some home cooking in TS next weekend should b just the ticket!

His head will be high once he reals off 200 yrds and 3-4 tds vs Sam Houston. Brandon Harris will play also.

LSU got down 24-7, and Wiscosin's defense was beating blocks and filling hard vs the run, they were just mugging the run, daring LSU to pass. LSU didnt really have any big runs till late, when they were running out of more 3wr sets and were holding their blocks. They had to play the senior in that spot because there was zero margin for error. I thought he looked good, that was just tough sledding for any rb early on, Magee avgd 7 ypc last year and was getting stoned at the LOS. The great thing about Fournette is that you can tell LSU wants to feature him in the passing game, he even stayed on thr field for a few third downs, when lsu was trailing, that is amazing for a true freshman rb.

Im glad to see everyone has calmed down after the game Saturday. Some of the remarks were brutal. I get it, everyone wanted the kid to come out and blow us away. I read comments on Twitter as well and it was harsh. They will be the same ones to praise him once he settles down. The next two games will definitely help with his confidence and he will begin to show the ability we all expect to see from the young man.I want to see him succeed just as much as the next fan and it will happen. I believe once he gets to get a feel for the speed of the college game, he will live up to the hype. Its good that we have the experience of our other backs to help him with all that he is experiencing. Those two guys have seen what it takes and they will help him through it. He will have a good game this weekend and it will get better as the season continues. Looking forward to the young mans success.
