I think you need to educate yourself. Henry came up biggest when it mattered most. Leonard feasted off of weak teams. It's sad but true, whether you care to admit it or not
Again, no its not. Again Henry ran for less than 100 yards 5 times. Of course henry came up big against teams. He wasnt running against bama.
Only a football novice or agump would say henry was better than lf in 2015.
Outside of bama when did lf come up short?

I said a players level of success is determined by production and stats.
so basically by every metric except the one you have chosen to use, Henry had a better season in 2015 than Fournette. And he had the hardware to back it up. I guess everyone is just stupid

What?
He played in more games.
Lf more ypc.
More yards per game.
Again, lf had less than 150 yards 3 times.
Henry failed to break 100 yards 5 times.

We all kmow the Heisman always goes to the best player.
Did you just start watching cfb?
Ingram won a frickimg heisman. Ingram has a heisman in a year he rushed for less than 60 yards 3 times. He ran for over 150 just 3 times.

In the regular season, Henry's sub 100 yard games came against MTSU, Monroe, Arkansas, and Charleston Southern. He didn't carry the ball against shitty teams like Leonard did. big deal. Leonards' came against Arkansas and Alabama and he had another subpar game the following week against Ole Miss. Context is your friend.

Again, being down early stopped his carries. He had 91 yards 4.8 ypc. Check Henry's ypc against arky.

Ha ha. You know you're great when 108 yards 4.6 ypc is considered subpar.
Its like you refuse to acknowledge that the only reason you deem Henry better was because he played in 3 extra games. There is no telling how many yards lf would have had against mcneese.

LOOK clearly neither one of us is gonna budge. We can go back and forth repeating shite over and over.
You believe a gump was better (traiter).
I and facts say LF was.
Anyway ,frick me,right . You have better things to do.
Agree to disagree brother. Geaux TIGAHS

You should do an offense and defense for each decade as generally the offensive players get the bulk of the attention. I agree with Tommy Casanova in the 70s as he primarily played defense. Charles Alexander would be the clear offensive choice.
George Bevan was probably teh best defensive playe rof teh 1960s.
Glenn Dorsey would be a great defensive choice for the 2000 decade with Josh Reed as offensive selection. Peterson would merit consideration but Dorsey was more nationally acclaimed.

no telling how many yards Henry would have had if he'd played more against MTSU (18 carries), Charleston Southern (9 carries), or Monroe (13 carries). Fournette had 26 carries against Syracuse, 26 against Western Kentucky, and 26 against Eastern Michigan. Putting up big numbers against a school like McNeese State wouldn't have done anything to show Fournette's season as being better.

I'll tell you what is good. Rushing for 210 yards on 5.5 ypc and 3 TDs on LSU.
Fournette laid a giant egg the entire month of November. last year. When it mattered most, he did not show up big. Henry did quite the opposite. He played his best when it mattered most and carried his team to a national title. That is why everyone outside the state of Louisiana says that he had the better season last year. Deal with it.

Our defense sucked balls last year. We gave up 20 points to everyone. Syracuse had a 5th string walk on playing qb and he was threw 3 tds in the first half.come the frick on

bullshite. 4.6 & 4.8 ypc is good. Lf cant help we got down 21-0 in the 1st quarter. How was Henry's 3.8 ypc in playoff coming up big? In fact henry never got above 4.4 in his last 3 games. Real beast mode.
Agree to disagree. There is reason ncaa stopped using total yards.

Meant I will take LF.

Man that is a good list but it is really hard to limit things to just 1 player in a decade.
For instance, I could make an excellent case for Tommy Hodson instead of Wendell Davis and they were on the same team.

You were NOT even born when Hilliard played in the 80's... You were just A little punk kid when Faulk played... IMO BOTH were better than LF7... AGAIN.................. Stats DO NOT tell the whole story..... Its A SHAME you can't see this.............

As much as i love tm7 he doesnt own Ny lsu records that are meaningful in my eyes. Tackles,ints,tfl,sacks. Better?
So being the best player in arguably college football history and forcing turnovers in meaningless in your eyes
Forcing a fumble is pretty easy to attribute to a player....

You and no one else.

Stats are the only factual things that are used to decide which player is the best. You can give an opinion about which player was better, but facts arent subjective.
Hilliard's best season was 1200 yards and 5.O ypc,highest td season was 14
Faulks best was 1200, 5.6, highest td season 15
Lf 1953,6.5 ypc and 22 tds
