I think Miles knows that we haven't seen all that he can do, and he's saving Fournette's really HUGE game for one of our rivals. Youthink 250 vs. BAMA would make a statement??? (I know....ridiculous thought...but what if???? Would seal him as the GOAT iIMO...and would seal the he is man.). Of course...doing it vs. FLA would probably do the same. Why else is he getting benched so early?

24 carries, wasn't needed, and we have a stable

plus it looked like he got nicked up

I'm sure the coaching staff hearing about Chubb's injury had NOTHING to do with it!

You saw what possibly can happen when he was left late in a game and banged up his knee? on a TD.. early on in the season..

It would be unforgivable if Les had Fournette out there in a game we were up multiple possessions and he was to get hurt on some freak play.. especially with another important game the following week..

The stats are just stats and he's going to continue to get them.

This team wants more.

Wins mean more than yards. Keeo his carries as low as possible so he can still be at full strength come November.

He had a knee tweek , we were in control of game and
LSU is as deep as the marianis trench at RB.

Also, Fournette himself said he wanted to see the other guys get to eat in that game.

they asked him if he wanted to go back in and he said no, let Williams and Guice shine.

people always find something to bitch about

have our best offensive output of the year with more balance and people bitch about Fournette not getting more than 24 carries
