Sounds like it. I think Guice eventually relieves Fournette full time back there.

Not specified. Just that those 3 are practicing the return.

I'd be fine with taking that off of buga's shoulders.

If LF is really going to continue being the actual deep guy on KO I don't see how you put Donte Jackson back there to block.

Just a guess if LF is back there, he's the returner. If he's not, then you see Guice blocking fro Jackson.

Gurley handled KO's pretty well for UGA and carried the ball more than LF ever will at LSU. Put your best players at each position...period.

We've used this as a big recruiting tool the last couple cycles. They were probably all told they will get a crack as a freshmen

I never fully understood why they put Fournette back there last year. Obviously, he is one of the fastest straightline sprinters on the team, but vision was thought of as his biggest area for improvement. I guess that might be why though.

Yet not a single one of those injuries occurred on a kickoff. Looks like we better not let Buga play running back. He might get hurt. Don't be suspect.

If you watched the Notre Dame game and the A&M game, you should now understand why he is back there.
