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.

OK - I laughed out loud - that is funny right there !!

Honest question. Would you want to tackle him in the open field if you were a DB? I'm sure I wouldn't. I think the Texas A&M play was already embedded in the brains of the Auburn's DB's heads going into the game. Then a few of them get trucked early on & they all became completely mind fricked after that. I think I heard #28 saying nope, nope, nope through the tv on one of Fournette's TD runs.

Walter Payton used to punish DBs like that and then the next run he'd fake it, throw a leg and be gone. I used to love me some Sweetness. Fournette living up to the hype now, baw. For reals

As the hype grows, we are going to see more & more DBs let him go by in open space. Lot's of "business decisions" are going to made by opposing DBs the rest of the season.

He had 165 yards rushing before contact. If this was basketball, he would be Lebron.

As much hype as there's been made about his 40 yard run and 29 yard run for touchdowns that day, I also thought that run there was the best of the day.

The fact that he jukes the DT in the backfield..............without slowing down........was a thing of beauty by itself. That DT HAD HIM CUT OFF!! Then, its just a shame what he does to that DB afterwards.

Guys, we'd better appreciate Leonard while he's here. We may not see greatness like this at LSU for quite some time.

There was another run that went for about 8-9 yards where he put a DB on his arse. It was kinda hard to see through the bodies all around Fournette but he put the DB on his backside just like the A&M run.

5 Barners to pile on him for 8 yards to get him down.


But they didn't get him down!

That run was one of the more unbelievable I've seen. This guy is looking just like he did in his HS highlites.

He has looked better every game since Arky last year. He could've easily gone over 300.

I almost hate to let him play more than 2 qtrs vs our next couple of games. Let Williams and Guice carry the load. I think if LF just gets 100+ and a td or two it would keep him in the running for awards. We will need him fresh vs UF D line.

But let's be honest and all admit that our Oline is potentially one of the best in our history. These guys have talent and Grimes was a MASSIVE upgrade.
