He is very good but if you think zeke is better than LF you are delusional
This is the dude that rushed for 220 yards against Wisconsin, 230 against Alabama, and 246 against Oregon to close last season. He has the highest overall grade for a RB by PFF by a decent amount. That includes Leonard Fournette.
Leonard Fournette has a great case for being better than Zeke. But at this point, theres really nothing anybody can say about Zeke that should be considered delusional. He's dominated college football on a level nobody else has for the last year and a half. He had what is likely the most impressive 3 game stretch of any RB in college history when it mattered most.
I've seen nothing but respect from Ohio State fans towards Fournette for dominating inferior teams for half a season. Especially impressive considering they might have a reason to be pissed that their MVP for their playoff run lost his Heisman frontrunner position despite playing great ball through half a year. Yet LSU can't even respect that back that made Alabama look silly? Call OSU fans delusional for daring to think a back with as incredible a resume as Zeke is better than a player who's career defining game is...... help me out here? 200+ yards at home against lousy Auburn? 180 yards on 31 carries against a pretty good Florida defense?

The closing run by Elliott was amazing and deserves high praise. I of course completely understand Ohio State fans preferring their guy, however the closing kick to the 2014 season has no bearing on who should or will win the 2015 Heisman.
I don't think anyone said Elliott or Cook were not great backs. But it sure does seem like a classic case of blow back since LF was pegged as the Heisman front runner so early, that talking heads and cool guys on message boards have to find another RB to say is better because of some type of metric like explosiveness for Cooks or blocking for Elliott.
