What would you say LF should improve on this offseason?

We all love Buga, no doubt about that, and he's already etching his name into the books as one of the SEC's best, nation's best, and he's already conquered just about everything at LSU.

With that being said, what things would you like to see from Fournette going into next year?


For myself: I would like to see him get quicker, and obviously Im not S&C coach, or guru on football mechanics, but I think him getting a bit slimmer, and having a bit more quickness might help sustain his body for the long term, instead of barreling over defenders (I know its impressive to see him bowl over defenders).

Also, develop better pass blocking, even though this is likely something he was going to improve upon anyways seeing as he only started investing his time into starting last year.

If Fournette can provide good pass blocking, teams can't key on him as easy because LSU could call pass plays despite him being in the backfield.

Gain weight, get faster, fall forward, stop false starting out of the wildcat-one day the officials may call this.

His OL.

But seriously, he could probably get better in pass protection he doesn't seem like a natural there and he often gets subbed out in those situations. General vision as well, but don't know how to work on that.

I think he will. Its as simple as getting experience IMO. This year probably gave him a great look into what he needs to do. I'd be surprised if he didn't improve at least.

Lateral agility and vision. Any RB can always get better at that.

I would like to see him improve his leadership. Pouting on the sidelines when held to 30 yards is immature.

I think he knows now he can't have 1 bad game in the 2nd half of the year. I would tell him to stress that play selection would be more than toss dive on 1st down.

1. Improve on his ability to change direction without having to truck defenders, (Even though I love seeing it).

2. Not have so many great runs called back because of penalties.

his vision and patience, he still misses open cut back lanes, and occasionally doesnt let his blocks set up.

also he shouldnt confront contact as much as he does.

He's quick AF. He really needs to rely on inside running and see opportunities to go one and one with a lb for 4 yards rather than sprint to the edge for no gain. He's quick enough and fast enough to hit the edge, but we need him to work from the inside out. I'd like to see him be more of a factor in the passing game, giving him opportunities in space.

Lateral quickness, pass receiving, and pass protection...if he gets better in those areas, he will be the greatest of all-time.

First SEC RB to break 2500 yards, win the Heisman. Not into critiquing his game, because he's only as good as the push his OL gets. Once he gets into the open field, we all know what he can do.
