This is why we won.

We finally fed LF. We established drives, held on to the ball, and LF got stronger as the game went on and started breaking some fantastic runs. He accounted for almost 50% of our offensive production and this UF team was supposedly a really good rush D. Magee also ran really well tonight as well.

But besides getting the W, the thing that I'm most happy about is we finally leaned in LF and let him carry this team. Which is the type of player he is. He's a true workhorse RB and when you feed him, good things happen. And it helps keep our D off the field and doesn't put pressure on our QBs.

The kid has 500+ yards now and a handful of tds and people are still saying he's not living up to the hype. LF is a monster and will put up 100 yards every game as long as he can get near 20 touches. And, he hasn't even really broken one off yet. All of our backs are really fighting.

Yeah I was beginning to think he'd have a chance at 200 yds last night but didn't get many touches late

yep we finally fed LF the rock and he showed that if you get him 25+ carries he is going to be special. The question should be why did it take game 6 and 2 losses before we did this.

This is true..... but hey, at least we did it. Kinda surprised Miles leaned on LF like he did. We should have been doing that before this game, and especially vs Auburn. But at least stubborn Les made the change.

Don't worry about them. They had totally unrealistic expectations to begin with which is why they are disappointed.

Fournette's vision is improved and he will be a monster the last half of the season. It took him some time but he's there.
