Chuck was no where near where LF is as a true freshman. IMHO

Scott had a bit more wiggle, if you will.

This is a dumb post. If I were you, and I am glad that I am not. I would delete this thing.

LF is bigger, stronger and faster than the Great Scott. All the same, Scott was quick to the hole prior to his injuries. But it's apples to oranges really. Scott made it to the NFL for a cup of coffee. Barring something unforeseen, LS will be a starting RB in the league for a long time.

Scott was really good but his final year was plagued by terrible line play and then he got injured when he was having his best game against Bama.

With that said, Fournette is a lot better. Way better hands, way more speed, and Fournette can shake you out your sneakers. They both ran/run over people though. I remember in 2008 that Scott just use to always fall forward.

Adrian Peterson is the most prominent football player to whom Fournette is similar, IMHO. And Buga is bigger and may be faster at the top end than AP (of course, no major injuries to this point).

I didn't think LF had near the speed of Peterson until the Notre Same game.

That said, I still think Peterson accelerates better. Not bad company to be in athletically

he broke his collar bone, he was quick to the hole before he got fat and pilled up in tiger land.

LF has yet to show the "wiggle".
Speed, yes.
Size, yes.
Strength, yes.
Wiggle, No.

Did you miss the Florida game? Or the juke cut back against Sam Houston that gave him 5 yards of separation?
