He was the one that placed his Heisman hopeful RB into a full scale scrimmage just a short time before the Wisconsin game which led to the high ankle sprain that plagued LF7 the whole damn year.


LF7 was hurt in short- not full game- scrimmage and sat out in the first full game scrimmage. He had several weeks of off time before the Wisconsin game. It's pretty clear that he tweaked the injury again and that would have happened no matter who our coach was. Les did not over use him either, which he could have done like many other coaches with great backs have done.

Les's crime against LF7 was the lack of offensive imagination, not causing his injury.

SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THE SEASON...nope

Happened on August 16th, which would be 18 days before the Wisconsin game. Dude was never right after that.

LF7 injured in scrimmage


quote:

The Tigers got a scare Tuesday when Fournette suffered an ankle injury in a scrimmage. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to be the worst possible outcome. "Leonard Fournette got a slight sprain. He’s in a boot," LSU coach Les Miles said after practice. "Some of the healing going. It's not terrible. In his words ... He'll be fine."
