IMO he will get limited carries against Syracuse and the directional schools to try to keep him fresh. I could see him having less than 100 against those schools due to limited carries.

LSU needs him fresh for SEC opponents as opposed to giving him a heavy workload to try to get him the Heisman.


I completely agree, but whenever something like this is posted, it gets downvoted.

Les Miles will not keep LF in a 31-3 game against an over-matched opponent. Whatever yards he gets, he needs to get them by halftime.

Imagine the meltdown if Fournette got injured in the third quarter in a game that was already well in hand.

Miles will most likely play him sufficiently to pile up yards, but not when the game is definitely well in hand. Plus BH needs to get his passing rhythm with receivers. I doubt if he has more than 1200 yards total in these games.
Although I wonder if Miles will play him more than really needed to keep him in Heisman contention.
Thoughts?
