Fournette vs Boykin

Do you think TCU was trying to pad his stats last night? 
Up by 30 with 7 minutes left and he was still in the game chunking it. That was pretty pathetic on TCU's part. I am glad the announcers finally mentioned that he needs to be on the sideline.

They can try all they want, fact is, Fournette is the best player in America and everybody knows it.

TCU has been on the outside looking in before. They're trying to leave no doubt in people's minds that they are worthy. The reality is voters are people too, and they can get caught up in emotion. Seeing TCU beating teams by 50 week in and week could possibly help them. I don't blame them.

Did you not see Boykin's Heisman moment that everyone's been talking about? I feel for the little girl in the wheelchair, but if that isn't a publicity stunt I don't know what is.

You don't blame them for leaving Boykin in when up by 30? If that is what you are saying you are dumb! Can you imagine if he would go down with an injury?

Boykin is good but tcu is not as good as last year. They don't play any good teams until November and should already have at least one loss save for a miracle on fourth down.

You're missing the point. They have to demolish people to be taken seriously. His point is that if they don't leave Boykin in they risk not making the playoffs even if they win the game (assuming they lose one).

It was pretty said on Reddit's /r/CFB subreddit after the game. All any TCU fan wanted to talk about was Fournette. They literally just won a game and they were debating about Boykin having a heisman night...against WVU.
They have, literally, played no one this season.

I think you mean figuratively. They have actually played teams, cupcakes though they may be.

Because they didn't win their conference. Not because they didn't look good. They lost head to head to Baylor the other 1 loss big 10 team. In everyone's mind that made parlor the conference champs. big 10 tries that BS co-champs thing when it looked like Ohio State or FSU might lose or get left out.

How is that sad? Fournette's Heisman campaign was built up against trash as well. He was relatively pedestrian in his "big game" so far. 5.8 YPC, 2 TDs, 1 fumble, and a catch. They are in a pretty similar position. Both have unbelievable stats but play a schedule where the difficult opponents are yet to be played.

I think that has more to do with the fact that they were left out of the playoff last year than it has to do with Boykin competing for the Heisman.

If you're saying TCU has played an opponent comparable to Florida, you're wrong.

lol yeah that 170+ yards against the then #8 team in the country and likely to win the SEC East isn't impressive

Fournette ran for 180 yards in that "big" game. Funny how you leave that out.
Posted on 10/30/15 at 9:00 am to TheSexecutioner
so you count fumbles that don't count?
that's fresh
that's fresh

Fournette will have to win the Heisman in November. If he averages a meager 140/game the rest of the way...that would put him over 1,900 yards and probably 20+ rushing td's. I'd say LSU needs to be at least 10-1 or better.
He's still the heavy favorite right now, but needs to perform at a high level down the stretch. JMO

Figured it was common knowledge. He definitely had a good game. 5.8 yards per game is not Heisman numbers. Period. His Heisman numbers come from the weaker opponents. Same as what people are knocking Boykin for in this thread. That's my only point.

Home game versus Florida(especially with a suspended quarterback) and going on the road to play Texas Tech are not that different. A generic top team(Ohio State, Baylor, etc) would be favored by at least 10 at home against Florida.
But, no, I didn't say anything remotely close to that. Impressively bad reading comprehension
