I think he's frustrated with the injury. I think if he was being honest he would tell you that when he prepared for and thought about how this season would go, it didn't look anything like what it has become.

No. He's injured and is miserable because he can't do what he loves to do.

Why because he's out with an injury and a three second camera shot showed him sitting on the bench without a smile on his face?

I think he's just bummed. this Is probably the first time ever to deal with injuries that make him miss games in his career.

It's his last collegiate year and he wants to play and run over people. I would be upset too.

I think people are reading too much into this. He's injured and pissed off about it.
They interviewed and couple of the RB's the other day and they both said he has been positive with other players and very supportive, but he's dying to play again.

Ugh.


We have gone from lip readers to expression detectives.


EVERYONE has said he is a GREAT teammate. The dude has worked hard to be as good as he is and he has to WATCH a game in Tiger Stadium in street clothes. It is perfectly reasonable to be a little down.

The dude has never had to ride the bench....ever. Be it injury or being a back up. It has to be tough and totally foreign to him. People need to cut him some slack.

his ankle might hurt and he is sitting down? He will play when fully healthy because now after watching Missouri he wants to have a 300 yard day vs S Miss or S Alabama, and get some revenge on BAMA!!

It's a lot to deal with right now. Harris getting benched, Les and Cam getting fired, losing 2 early games in a season a lot of people thought you would contend for the playoffs, you just watched 4 of your teammates combine for 400+ rushing yards without you, and you've missed 2 games in a season where you were a top candidate for the Heisman, which is all but shot now. I'm sure he's struggling to a degree, and who could blame him?

Fournette has seemed distant from his team. You would think he would have been the team's biggest sideline cheerleader but it hasn't been the case. It appears he's doing his best to stay quiet and out the way and not be a distraction.

Sure didn't seem that way against Auburn when he hurt his ankle again, and couldn't wait to get back in.

He's frustrated, but his attitude is not an issue

The tweet to Moses should tell you all about where his heart is
