Fournette's catching ability out of the backfield

This was my biggest take away from the running backs last night. Fournette will begin to settle in as a college player over the next few games but the hands he showed last night with those two catches you simply can't coach.
Also, I expect to see a lot more of the Hilliard/Fournette, Fournette/Magee combinations in the backfield once SEC play starts. It definitely adds numerous options in the play calling.
Lastly, we've shown flashes of plays that have been successful but they also present challenges to the defense we haven't even utilized yet. Example, fullback dive to Hilliard but the outside flip to Fournette was available as well.
Really excited about this team fellas. Discuss.

I agree with everything you posted

He's a weapon. I wish we didn't have to force it so much to keep up with the hype. He's clearly a badass with serious skill.

He is a football player.

I was very impressed with his ability to make difficult catches appear easy. I wish the coaches would have worked more on the short passes, particularly those horrible screens against Wisconsin.

He'd better be able to catch cause he ain't running tween the tackles. At least based on what I've seen to this point. He'll need the ball in space.

I was impressed with the way Williams ran the ball. Hilliard has stepped up big time so far this year, but next year I think Williams can step into that bruiser back position.

his 40 yarder and subsequent TD run were inside runs...

Coach Cam probably drooling over LF vs Linebacker matchups. LF should burn them every single time. He's home run threat (they stack box) will open up PA bombs to Dural, Quinn, Diarse or Dupre.
Matchup nightmares against opposing d. coordinators.

When the safety floats over to help the LB, the middle of the field will be open for the TE

LF was set out wide a lot in high school. He caught lots of slants.

What game were you watching? LF never gets taken down by the first guy.

Was that in High School, more specifically in the Catholic School League?

Agreed. Cam even split him out last night. Add the two tailback set (hilliard/LF) (magee/hilliard) and D coordinators will have a lot of sleepless nights.

Not a knock on a true freshman, but this isn't true...
