Recruiting Nation - “If he can land in a downhill, two-back offense, we see big-time production at the next level.”

ESPN - If that description is accurate, Fournette landed in the right place. No BCS-AQ (automatic qualifying) team ran more often in a two-back set than LSU last season.



ESPN - Les Miles isn’t afraid to use freshmen running backs either. Two years ago, Hill led the team in rushing and set a school freshman record in touchdowns with 12. As the schedule got tougher, Miles rode his freshman more. In LSU’s last seven games – five against ranked opponents - Hill averaged 19.5 carries per game.

Imagine Leonard Fournette getting 19.5 carries or more this year. Opposing teams better bring it!

I think by the end of the year he might be getting 19.5 carries a game.

Don't ignore Darrell Williams. We will have four capable backs this year, and I expect them all to get significant carries. RB's wear down if they're overused.
