re: Spurrier: Fournette 'probably the best in the country,'

The problem is that Spurrier said this:

"Basically what I've seen is television highlights. We just went in and watched our tape and left this morning. But he's a good, strong, fast back. Probably the best in the country, but you know what, if you can get everybody up there, you can tackle him. There's nobody that can't be tackled."

Like all great players, Fournette is not going to look at the rest of what Spurrier said; he's going to take this bit out, post it in the locker room, and work himself up into a frenzy all the way until game day, whereupon he will unleash his contempt and hatred upon the gamecock foe for a count of 250 yards and 4 TDs.

I jest a bit here, but Spurrier is seriously dumb for saying that piece, regardless of what else he may have said after it. Players will grasp onto whatever they need to in order to motivate themselves. Bulletin board material, no question.
