Apparently blocking and receiving aren't aspects of being an all purpose back that fans of a certain team appreciate. It's only about the running for them. In their defense, their running back is a spectacular runner.

He is very good but if you think zeke is better than LF you are delusional
This is the dude that rushed for 220 yards against Wisconsin, 230 against Alabama, and 246 against Oregon to close last season. He has the highest overall grade for a RB by PFF by a decent amount. That includes Leonard Fournette.
Leonard Fournette has a great case for being better than Zeke. But at this point, theres really nothing anybody can say about Zeke that should be considered delusional. He's dominated college football on a level nobody else has for the last year and a half. He had what is likely the most impressive 3 game stretch of any RB in college history when it mattered most.
I've seen nothing but respect from Ohio State fans towards Fournette for dominating inferior teams for half a season. Especially impressive considering they might have a reason to be pissed that their MVP for their playoff run lost his Heisman frontrunner position despite playing great ball through half a year. Yet LSU can't even respect that back that made Alabama look silly? Call OSU fans delusional for daring to think a back with as incredible a resume as Zeke is better than a player who's career defining game is...... help me out here? 200+ yards at home against lousy Auburn? 180 yards on 31 carries against a pretty good Florida defense?

I'm actually an LSU fan. Just hate homerism and the loser desperate mindset that football ceases to exist at a high level in Tuscaloosa and Columbus when we finally get on a relatively comparable level to them for 1 year. LF7 has put himself in a great position to earn the Heisman down the brutal finish of a stretch we have. But as of yet, he hasn't done shite that deserves the same respect from the average college football fan that Zeke earned last year. Zeke went against the best and beat the best in a brutal fashion. Looking forward to seeing LF7 go against the best.
I'm excited about LSU being a contender this year. But its almost like people on here have equated our number 5 ranking through 7 weeks to Ohio State's championship. LSU has not won a game yet that the 10th best team in the country wouldn't be favored in. Buckeyes won at least 3(neutral site Wisconsin would be close) in the second half of last year. Zeke rushed for an average of 212.5 and had 10 TDs in those 4 games. So I don't really care if Fournette has a little better stats this year because he rushed for 100 more yards against Eastern Michigan and Syracuse than Zeke did against Hawaii and Maryland. Let's see how they do against Ole Miss, Bama, Michigan, Michigan State, and their championship games/postseason.

It's pretty amazing. They are insufferable when they are winning.
Attended RU/OSU game last night. Lotsa OSU fans around us. Let's talk insufferable.

We all have those fans. There are certainly plenty of Ohio State fans that I find embarrassing. Most of which never attended one class at the university.
I love our football team but I'm much more proud of the cancer research center that was built at the university. That's an accomplishment that matters.

The closing run by Elliott was amazing and deserves high praise. I of course completely understand Ohio State fans preferring their guy, however the closing kick to the 2014 season has no bearing on who should or will win the 2015 Heisman.
I don't think anyone said Elliott or Cook were not great backs. But it sure does seem like a classic case of blow back since LF was pegged as the Heisman front runner so early, that talking heads and cool guys on message boards have to find another RB to say is better because of some type of metric like explosiveness for Cooks or blocking for Elliott.

It's hilarious how much grief people give LSU fans about how crappy our fans are on an LSU centric message board? You know what other fanbases suck? Yours and every other fanbase this website has ever seen. OSU fans were every bit as bad as LSU fans on here before the NC but there's a multitude of them in here deriding LSU fans because it's convenient/funny/easy to troll the majority. Keep that chip on your shoulders because everyone "underrates" OSU.
