No 1 through 4 are LSU v. Aub

1. It's Not Fair For LSU To Have An Asteroid At Running Back: Oh my word, Leonard Fournette. We all knew you were going to be good when you showed up in Baton Rouge last year. We all rolled our eyes a bit when you struck the Heisman pose after the first touchdown of your career. We all regret doubting you now.

You sir, you are incredibly fun to watch. You're essentially an asteroid carrying the ball, moving at an accelerated speed and ready to destroy anything that gets in your way. The only thing that can stop you right now is Bruce Willis and a group of ragtag, deep drill workers, but I'm pretty sure they're all out of eligibility at this point.

Fournette finished with 14 broken tackles on only 19 carries, which is an impressive stat, but also one that seems wholly inaccurate. He didn't break 14 tackles, he destroyed 14 souls.

I mean, that looked like a play that would lose yards, and then I'm like omgomgomgomgomgomg and then he kills that DB and I'm like OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.

#19 got obliterated. Pin balled him into # 8. 8-9 extra yards after contact.

It's my favorite from that game.


Check out the end ... had about 6 whipped Barners on him ... and he STILL never went down.


Simply unbelievable.

The only thing that stopped Fournette on that play was the sideline and I think even it was trying to get out of his way.

That play showed elite speed and power.

Two guys had a great angle on him 7 yards in the backfield and he just burned them around the corner, then one guy tried to tackle him high and he ran through him like wet single ply, then it took 5 Barners to pile on him for 8 yards to get him down.

This kid is just something else.

The way Fournette runs through the DB causing him to pin ball into his teammate reminds me of this run. The thing is Greg Jones was a fullback. Fournette is a halfback who runs with the power of a fullback.

Watch 28 on that play. He doesn't want anything to do with tackling Buga. At the beginning of the play, he slows up when he has a chance to at least attempt to push him out of bounds. He doesn't make contact until Fournette is slowed by running over other players.
