Actually they probably won't. The expectations were set waaaayyy too high for LF. He will be a good back for LSU and one day may end up being all-SEC, but he'll never be the AP type of back people were saying he'd be. He's just not that quick, elusive or good.

That's what I mean by meeting expectations. He will be a very good SEC running back. All the Peterson comparisons and talk of Heismans are delusional at this point.

Agree for the most part.

LF looks good, but, as I've said before, nothing special so far. I know that the Ranters who had extreme predictions want to be vindicated, so they're having trouble acknowledging that LF looks just ok, but not mind-blowing.

And yes, I know he's still only 3 games into his career and he can grow and improve, but we've played three shitty defenses and LF should've already shown a lot more if he truly was the "once in a generation" type of talent.

In truth you don't know whether he will live up to expectations. None of us do. What I have heard about Fournette seems to bode well for him, though. He actually IS humble and he works hard. He is not as good as he is going to be, barring some kind of injury.
