I know this is a troll post, but Fournette probably needs close to 300 carries to win the Heisman. Jeremy Hill had 203 carries for 1400 yards in 2013 with a ridiculous 6.9ypc. Let's just say that Fournette gets 300 carries next year and averages a very respectable 6ypc for 1,800 yards. I don't think we've ever had a 1,500 yard rusher, so that would be by far the most prolific season for an LSU RB ever.

FYI, Melvin Gordon went over 2,500 yards last season with a 7.5ypc average and 29 touchdowns; he finished 2nd in the Heisman voting

ETA: Les will ride one back when he sees fit. Hill, Ridley, Hester, etc. all were the feature backs in crowded backfields, so it's not like he's going to exclusively go RB by committee. However, we play a lot of dogshit OOC teams this year, so I'd imagine LF's carries are drastically cut in those games. He'll probably finish with close to 250 carries and 1,500 yards or so.
