Why lie to make your point? I guarantee you can't link one person making that statement.

It seems there is a segment of LSU's fan base who revel in what they deem a failure of some of LSU's players. But that is true in real life as well. Normally those who are not high achievers themselves hope for the failure of those who are.

The Leonard Fournett hype was well earned by him. And it will be based on his full career at LSU, not one game where he was running against 9 in the box. Anyone concluding the hype is not warranted after one game, especially that game where the deck was stacked against any RB, was already predisposed to believe the hype wasn't warranted. They just needed something to support their position. They probably have argued to anyone who would listen that he will never live up to the hype.

I didn't see anything in that game that negated LF becoming all he was hyped to be. The same with Brandon Harris. Now if I was looking to argue he will be a bust, this one game is all I would need. Then it's "see I told ya!" It's all a matter of perspective.
