ESPN is garbage but fournette gets talked about in just about every game they televise.

To be fair.....LF7 has been 43 or so % of our offense.

Yes on the first thing, no on the second thing.

Cook is incredible, and a top 3 RB now that Chubb is out.

They are also averaging 229 yards and 2 TDs through the air at nearly 68% competition each game as well.

If LSU had those passing numbers, Fournette would look even better than he does now.

Not all 11 defenders key Cook the whole game. And FSU hasn't played anyone yet. With that being said Cook is a very good back but comparing those stats could be misleading.


Comparing those stats are misleading. Cook has a passing game, we didn't until we played SCAR.

ESPN also does stupid stats If cook didn't have more yards on 200 carries, they would've done a random number like 261 just to push fournette down.


Exactly! I saw a stat about 18 passing TDs for some QB and I was thinking, 18 seems like such a random number. They've done things like 140 yards receiving stat per game and 175 rushing yards per game to prove a point, and it sounds ridiculous.

Love my boy Antonio Brown, but they did a thing about 8 catches 80 yards, 1 TD per game, then when he didn't get it, they kept using 5 catches 50 yards per game.

Why do we get offended by this. There are other guys out there working hard who always dreamed of winning a Heisman. They aren't going to quit trying and neither should Fournette.


People are stupid though. Over the last 200 carries? How about just comparing this year, or if you go back to 200 carries ,FSU averaged 303 yards passing per game last year, and are averaging 229 passing per game this year.

We beat Miss St on the road game one with zero live game prep, while they had live game prep, and only Fournette as offense. Miss St is better than Kentucky, Auburn, South Carolina, Vandy, Mizzu and at least one of Arky/Tennessee. So it's more like a middle of the pack SEC team.
