Alex Scarborough: "I respect the heck out of Jalen Hurd. I think Nick Chubb is as determined a runner as any I've seen the past few years. And I believe that Bo Scarbrough, whom I've followed since he was an underclassmen in high school, has the chance to be special."

"But, look, this is Leonard Fournette we're talking about. This isn't some mere mortal."

Can't get enough good reading material at this time of year. For all the betters out there, do you take Fournette or the field for the Heisman? (With or without your purple and gold glasses on)

Are we talking about the Heisman race? If so, I'd take the field.

Fournette and it isnt close. He has the rare combo of vision, top end elite speed, acceleration, Power to run you over, and can catch and block. Dude is the total package. He will be the most valuable pick in the draft after the season.

Eta:Im talking draft wise. Heisman wise Id take the field, because we have 4 stud running backs and hopefully we can keep drives going and rest fournette a bit.

Definitely the field, especially with the returning top end talent that also has name recognition. Guys like Watson, McCaffery, and Cook will be stiff competition.

I'll tell you one thing, though- I wouldn't trade Leonard for any of them

If we're in the playoff picture come December, gimme LF. If not, I'll take the field.

It's little more than the award for the best player on the best team.

I am taking the field. Since LSU can't beat Bama, and can't throw forward passes. LSU will likely run into the same issues this season that they did last season.

The field. I wouldn't even has him as the favorite. The favorite has to be Deshaun Watson

The Field is very strong this year, stronger than it was last year.

Damn shame that powers outside of his control (McNeese, Ritter, OL breakdowns vs Bama, shite RZ playcalling vs OM, etc.) cost him his rightful hardware.

He could have an even better year this season and still not win it.

Watson against no defenses in the ACC or Fournette vs. SEC defenses week-in, week-out.

I think LF7 has a good shot at the Heisman but if I had to lay money I'm taking Watson & the field.

Even if we're only talking running backs I'd take the field over Fournette for the Heisman. But Fournette is the best running back, and probably the best player, in all of college football.

Hell, he was hands down the best player in college football last year, and he wasn't even invited to the presentation.

If Heisman, the field. If who do you want on your team, Fournette.
