re: Leonard Fournette Looked better last night

except for the 24 yard run for a TD (which was nice), LF had 9 rushes for 28 yards against a crappy opponent. Yes, I know you can't discount the long run, but you have to pay attention to the larger sample size of the rest of his carries.

Did you even watch the last 3 runs? He got three runs. Gained 4 yards on the first, did the stupid arse stretch play where he lost yards or went for no gain, and was hit as soon as he got the ball on the last one.

Like i have repeatedly said, the fact of the matter is that for a #1 RB recruit, we use him like a scat back/change of pace/decoy player. He gets zero time to get into a groove, and then we switch him out for another one.

Should we rag on Williams for his 4.6 ypc against SHSU where he had 14 carries? Should we rag on his 37 yards rushing against ULM, where 22 came on one play? Outside of that, he had 6 carries for 15 yards. Fournette is used as a decoy on the line where he could already have 6 TDs.
