Not until all prognosticators pick Fournette can you be certified.

Andrew Sharp

quote:

Heisman Trophy Winner

Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia: My heart says Leonard Fournette runs for 2,000 yards and becomes the first true freshman in history to win. My head says 12 of the last 14 Heismans have gone to quarterbacks. Let’s split the difference and say Todd Gurley.


Matt Borcas

quote:

Heisman Trophy Winner

Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU: With Zach Mettenberger, Jeremy Hill, and Odell Beckham Jr. off to the NFL, this true freshman really will need to be LSU’s version of Michael Jordan — or, at the absolute minimum, Adrian Peterson.


Mallory Rubin

quote:

Heisman Trophy Winner

Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU: Sure, a clear, recent pattern has emerged of the trophy going to the quarterback from the best or most exciting team. But another pattern has emerged in tandem: The trophy going to a fresh-faced newbie who comes out of nowhere to take the sport by storm. Fournette may not be able to outrun the hype, which is far greater than what greeted Johnny Manziel or even five-star recruit Jameis Winston, but if he can, he’ll be a potentially historically productive contributor on a national contender. The only question is what Les Miles will chew on at the ceremony. Carpet?

People are so stupid. LF will get the 3rd most carries on the team.

I'm glad to see that we can RA for a post being "suspect."

I know! Anyone who thinks LF will get the 3rd most carries on the team is a total retard. Good call.

I understand trying to tone down the hype, but this is just an asinine statement.

Even if he does come in and has a year similar to Hills first year he still wont be anywhere near the Heisman discussion, just like Hill never was.

If LF gets 12 carries, it'll because he was averaging 10+ ypr on the first 11. If not: RBBC -- book it.
