LF has looked to me to be everything he was alleged to be. I see the special talent he is and don't understand why others can't. Did anybody notice him break the DB's ankles? Or the multiple guys he has trucked? Or that he always goes forward after contact? Or his great hands? Or that the other team seems to give him special attention? Once he settles in get ready for some special moments


This!

Howard- 5' 10" 188 lbs
Hester- 5' 11" 180 lbs
Lewis- 5' 8" 173
Sanders- 6'1"- 198
Dural- 6'2" 192

weight is different at different nights, but comparing someone who is 6'2" do someone who is 5' 10" is different


and i don't believe Dural is 192. thats a roster weight

He is returning kicks because our coaching staff feels like he gives us the best advantage at that position.

I remember a guy named Cannon (who weighed 216 lbs. and 6'1" tall) who returned punts and kicks in the late-1950s. Perhaps Les has type-cast Fournette into that type. The more Fournette has going for him, the higher percentage to get it. Let's see how this all plays out...

Have you noticed, LSU fans always questions who returns kicks? Every year, no matter who it is.

BTW...here is why..

He is a big body with big play ability. Exactly what you want taking kick offs.

how many players out there really want to run into that? He Ran through like 4 or 5 guys...

Put the ball in the hands of your best player as many times a game and your chances of winning go up...plain and simple...

Todd Gurley and LF are not at all comparable at this point in their careers..


Right! Gurley has an OL that is opening holes wide enough for Oprah to run through. LF, not so much.
Get LF past the LOS and he would look much more comparable.
