re: Detillier - Fournette best offensive player at LSU in his 27 years

most yards and tied for TD's for a freshman right?

Right...for a freshman.

But in the past 27 years, LSU has had multiple RB's put up over 1000 yards, with the one RIGHT BEFORE Fournette putting up 1400 with 16 TD's.

Again...I hate threads like this because you are either forced to agree with some outlandish hyperbolic statement about an LSU player or you're seen as some Debbie Downer by pointing out the hyperbole.

My take? Fournette looks to be an incredibly special player. All signs point to him being one of the best RB's to ever come through LSU, and given how talented our elite RB's have been at LSU that means the kid will be in the elite category in all of the SEC. He has all the tools to become that and then some.

All that said, I think what Detillier said was putting the cart before the horse at this point. that's not a shot at Fournette, but more of a shot at Mike D who felt the need to go that far.
