Jeff Grimes and his OL are not good. We've long had overrated OL. Check the numbers. Of all the guys we have in the NFL two of them are OL.

The biggest thing I notice about Fournette is how much smaller DBs bring him down with ease. He simply can juke them or run through their arm tackles. This could come with time but now not making the transition to prime time in the SEC. He is still better than the other three but that speaks more to how really average they are.

He's averaging over 5 yards per carry and at this point in the season seems to be our best back. He's just not getting enough carries.

He's averaging 5.3 ypc; about what he did last night on only 7 carries. He's the best back, just like Hill was the past two seasons. Quit waiting. Give him 18-20 carries per game right now, more so out of 3-4 receiver sets where the box is emptied out, and this kid'll be knocking down 100 ypg, IMHO. Wouldn't hold my breath on this happening yet, though.

Yes, Cecil Collins jumped right in and looked like a man among boys in the SEC. I guess I expected the same from Leonard. And that's my fault, not his.


Cecil Collins sat out his freshman year.

1 year is a lot of time to mature.

"Buga Nation" and its PR machine seems to be bogged down in the swamp or in the 7th Ward!

Wait the swamp and the 7th Ward is the same thing!

38 yards rushing will get you no more than two blocks long on St. Claude Avenue!

The Louisiana guys looked good last night, I mean those with Hail State on their jerseys!

Not as impressive as D. Williams to this point. Fix the O-line and we might get a better read.

Does not break tackles. Does not make guys miss. Good speed. Decent vision.

Probably the most damning thing they ever said! He will continue to develop into a very good back, but AP he is not. By the way, love the XKE!!

he has all the tools but he is in a learning stage and he will stay in that stage a while since he averages less than 10 carries per game. also, its clear the defenses key on him esp. to the outside. ol and playcalling are both a big problem. he is the only back we have that has ANY chance of making a big play.

if he got the touches Peterson got his freshman year he would put up similar #'s.
