Still wondering why our 5 star 4 year recruited "once in a generation talent"

Had just 10 touches in our most important game of the season to date.
Would anyone have though te would get so few touches? I mean I'm 100% sure any other school would have used him more than us in 4 games now. He did very well with each carry and had a couple first downs? I hear Frank is calling te backs? Does Frank not notice all offseason and 4 games into the season that Leonard Fournette is above and beyond our best back and should be playing as much as Gurly did his first year.
We know we had the best athlete on the field with him. Let's get him the damn ball.

LF should get 15 carries minimum a game

Agree

I agree. LF looked great on the few carries he got where the Oline was blocking. A couple of his carries he had a defender in his face almost instantly. ..can't blame him for those.

Why did we start our 4th best running back? And while we're at it, if fFournette would stay in the game for more than just three plays at a time, maybe the defense wouldn't be able to key on him so much.

We only ran 60 plays, of which 36 were called rushes. He also had 2 kick returns, so in essence he got 20 percent of all touches. I dont really know that a running back will get more touches than he has with ZERO offensive flow and limited opportunities.

Magee hasn't done crap all season. Fournette has looked better and better each game.
Fournette
Williams
Hilliard
Feed them the ball

I would like to see Fournette getting more carries.

There is no ryme or reason to our whole entire offense, and it's been that way for a while. It's like there isn't any real game planing for matches or fakes or getting a defense thinking one thing then doing the opposite. It's nuts!!! I'm freakn tired of it too. It's time for a change what ever that might be??? Sorry but I'm tired of Les Miles and his inability to create something from nothing.

Honestly I think so far Williams has been more impressive in more limited carries than LF. I mean LF definitely has the ability to be amazing and far more talented but sometimes he seems timid when he runs to me.

I don't even care. The RB rotation was the least of the problems. Barry Sanders wouldn't have made a difference.

it's hard for anyone to get touches when you convert ZERO 3rd downs
Posted on 10/7/14 at 8:07 am to Reda LSU
4.2 yards per carry... watched the replay last night and his first two carries came close to the second quarter, if i'm not mistaken, and both were close to 10 yards. Let the best recruit in the nation be the man and give him the ball!!!
He could put up Jeremy Hill type number if he was getting the ball 20-25 times like Jeremy Hill did.

Of all the bitching about Miles this is the one gripe i am 100% behind.
Its insane. LF is clearly the best RB on the team, and he isn't even getting double digit carries half the time.
I feel like we have packed it in for the season.
Help out the seniors as much as you can, and get the freshmen a few snaps here and there.
It sucks.

Because Miles wants to save some tread. The fact the kid got carries early and started the season as the KOR man says loads of how much Miles likes and trusts him. And his inexperience and need to adjust to the speed of the game was apparent in his early outings.
Having said that, he will be the every down back in 2015 and 2016, and Williams will be more of a short yardage back - essentially after Hilliard and Magee graduate, our "elder" running backs will be Thunder (Fournette) and More fricking Thunder (Williams), with Guice coming in to provide a legitimate change up.

We were like 0-13 on 3rd down. That may have something to do with it.
How many offensive plays did we even run?
