LF suffered a little bit due to his teammates lack of execution. However, he missed a couple of golden opportunities by not being patient and following his blocks, plunging head-long into defenders, when he could have possibly juked and gone around them. All mistakes that will be corrected, given the history of this coaching staff. Magee struggles as well, more from the missed blocking assignments than anything else. The running game will be fine and I still think they'll wind up averaging over 200 ypg on the ground.

Okay since apparently all you idiots see is that I called myself an athlete. I should've said that I WAS an athlete when I was younger

I wasn't buying into the completely overblown hype that LF was getting, but I did expect little more than what was shown against Wisconsin. As an athlete myself, I know that jumping from one level to the next is extremely difficult, but he was looking freakish in camp. I wasn't expecting a 200 yard game without being tackled once like the hype train projected, but I was a little disappointed with 8 for 18 or whatever he got. Hopefully these games against SHS and ULM will get him up to speed for Miss. St.


You have to put your personal in the right conditions for them to succeed. No running back would have during the time LF had. the option was a joke with 9 men in the box.

I'm kind of glad he didn't light up the world versus WI. Felt like his larger than life hype might lead to over-use of this true Freshman and that could lead to an early injury that might cast a pall on the rest of his very promising football career at LSU and the pros. A few games to get himself used to the college/SEC level of play will pay dividends in his maturation and skill development. We'll see more from LF as the season progresses.

Playing club tiddlywinks does not qualify you as an athlete.

There were some terrible play calls on his first few touches...................he also wasn't getting any help from the Oline.

As stated.....AP couldn't have run thru the defenders in front of LF in the first half.

I still expect big things from this kid............

Look at the bright side.

A huge dose of humility hasn't ever hurt anyone.

By all accounts, this will just make the kid stronger for the road ahead.

He would have gotten over 100 of he was the chosen one in the 4th. Mcgee would have too for that matter. Run D was pretty stout first 3 quarters

Shitty blocking combined with the fact that everyone in the city of Houston knew when #7 is on the field that he's getting the ball led to a disappointing college debut. Leonard can use the experience as motivation. I almost feel sorry for our next opponent.

LF definitely seems like the type of individual to use this as motivation,he will still be a superstar.
