DeMarco Murray?

Y'all compare him to Herschel Walker or Bo Jackson, but I think the O-Line is the reason for his sudden success. LF7 is just reaping the rewards. How would he do with a different team?

Did you really just compare Fournette to Demarco Murray? Get the frick out.

Flattening people and throwing them over his shoulder in the open field has nothing to do with the O-Line. Yes, our line is probably the best in the SEC and possibly the best in college football, but they are not the reason for the "sudden success".

He is more AP and less DM.

I'd equate him to Lebron James coming out of high school.

What "sudden success"? It's been extremely obvious that he's a rare physical talent since he stepped on campus as a true freshman.

To answer your question, if he played for a team with a terrible o-line he probably wouldn't rush for very many yards but he'd still be 6'1 230 and very fast with good vision, an insane burst, and an assortment of about 30 moves that you can't even use on Madden

So I suppose the multiple times he is against secondary and either jukes the crap out of them or completely runs them over is just a benefit of having a good O-line??

While I think the O-Line play has been good this season, he gets a lot of tough yards after contact and in the second level.

Something I didn't realize, until reading an article over the weekend, was that Fournette was learning a different offensive style at LSU. He came from a spread system, and really had to work on his reads and ability to follow blockers. That seems to be a good explanation for one reason that he started slow and picked up steam as the season progressed.

The oline does an outstanding job, but fournette is breaking tackles in the open field as well. Praise to the oline though, he wouldn't have 228 yards a three touchdowns this past week without them.
