From just running into the line against Wisconsin to finally beginning to look comfortable last night. He keeps looking better every game.

Just as Harris won the job last night, fournette will be our bell cow until he goes pro.

Fournette definitely looks better. Hilliard looked great too. Fournette just has the ability to make those cuts that Hilliard can't. Either way, we are gifted in our backfield.

LF looks good. It all depends on the passing game we get. If we can throw for 240 yards , the running game will thrive.

Yeah. his vision is better, and it looks like he's overcoming the urge to follow the blocking(what coaches want), and take whats there...

Definitely going to be a solid, go-to back for LSU for the next few years. Don't know that he will necessarily live up to billing, though, but they may be next to impossible anyway.

He's looking better but needs to work on breaking tackles as he goes down a little too easy.

All you arse clowns are going to say he's adjusting. Fact is that he has been our best runner all year. Last night it took a Hilliard fumble to finally give Fournette several carries in a row.

He's been the best all season long.

Last night was the first time we consistently saw that burst through the holes in the line. I know it was vs a porous D but he ran with authority.

If the OL can play consistently well, I think he'll be one of the better backs in the country by season's end. Maybe a 1,000yd rusher.

Fournette did look better last night, but you gotta keep the competition level in mind. That team was really bad. IMO Williams looks better in limited carries. He runs harder and has better feet as someone pointed out here last night.

This is not a knock on LF cause he had a great night, but New Mexico State is an awful team. Lets reasses in 2 weeks.

So was SHSU. Fournette looked better because he displayed better vision, finding holes, following blocking and not just trying to run through people.

He looks better each work. I do think he needs to run with more violence when running room is lacking. He will be very good.
