This guy may be right, but most of his reasoning can be used against all of the candidates.

2. Sooner or later, Fournette will be stopped. The punishment Fournette absorbs, whether it looks like it or not, is just as unholy as that which he delivers. He'll see eight-man defensive fronts, throughout the season, designed to stop him and put the game on the shoulders of first-year starting quarterback Brandon Harris. And they'll be much better defensive fronts than the one Syracuse fielded on Saturday. Be it against Florida, Ole Miss, or Alabama, Fournette's 20-for-50 reckoning is coming. And if it comes in a loss for the Tigers, voters will hop to a quarterback's Heisman wagon quicker than a TCU scoring drive.

Fournette dropped 100+ yard games against UF and Ole Miss stacked boxes as a freshman last year.

He insinuates Boykin will win. His first reason against Fournette is that it is a QB award. While that has been true lately, it does not exclude RBs from winning, and SI.com has 4 RBs in their Top 5 Heisman watch list at the moment.

Yes, because all of the recent Heisman winning QB's are tearing it up right now.

The guy from Wisconsin, Melvin Gordon, rushed for 2500 yards in 2014 and didn't win the Heisman so I can see it

Yup. But he had Winston and Marriota way ahead of him from the start of the year... LF7 is the frontrunner right now... I see NO qb that should be ahead of him.............. But LF7 won't be getting 150-200 ypg the rest of the year.... The farther we go the better the D'S get......


BUT if they gave the trophy away today, LF7 would win in a landslide..............

Teams did stop him last year, but neither were Ole Miss (23 car 113 yards, 1 rec 40 yards), Florida (27 car 140 yards 2 TDs), and Bama barely held him (21 car 79 yards).

Fournette is WAY better than last year, our OL is much better than last year, and we can throw the football if we need to, unlike last year.

This notion of people slowing him down, and to 50 yards on 20 carries, is a bunch of nonsense.
