Leonard Fournette attempts to figure out LSU’s new 3-4 defense each day at spring practice.

It’s not going well.

“Sometimes,” he said, “I get confused. “That’s probably their main goal.”

Fournette spoke to local reporters for the first time since Dec. 29, when he talked after LSU’s win over Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl. Fournette admitted that he’s having trouble against new defensive coordinator Dave Aranda’s scheme.

“It’s different,” the LSU running back said. “They throw a lot of things at you. A lot of moving. And then Jamal (Adams) and them, they’re saying a lot of things. Every day I’m trying to catch on what they’re saying and what it means.”

Excited to watch this new scheme in the spring game & going forward.

Aranda could end up being the best Coordinator hire in Miles tenure especially considering that side of the ball has gotten softer almost every year since 11.

Don't line up with 2 tight ends and a running back to start.


Good interview. Seems like such a good guy. Hope they can get him a ring this year.

Just hard to make heads/tails of anything in the offseason. Offense sucks(huge pass numbers in scrimmage), or defense is great...its all relative till there's a real opponent, still good to hear they are mixing it up...

Not even close.

And you've been pushing that narrative since we hired Aranda, and it's flat out wrong. So please stop with this bullshite

I am going to 100% commit to enjoying watching Fournette this season regardless of how the season plays out...he is such a special player and I expect he will have a season for the ages

Has Brandon Harris gotten better with the shorter passes?

Brandon, he’s still developing. One thing about him, it starts off with him and his attitude. He’s always coming into the huddle and encouraging us, even when somebody drops the ball. He’s always clapping his hands and (saying), ‘Pick it up. We can do better.’

Translation: Nope.
