Is it realistic to expect Fournette to get much better this year?

How realistic is it to expect him to get faster or stronger, he had to be near his peak last year. Maybe there is a some room for improvement in conditioning, but I can't imagine there would be a whole lot of room there either. The big improvement I expect to see in his numbers this year can only come from us having a legitimate passing threat which would give him more space to run.

Yes because the OL should be better and the maturation process of a young 20 something

Not winning the heisman last year was a sophomore slump. Play time is over this year.

Honestly, I'm expecting that no one will be able to tackle him.

No. He was great last year, and the oline was good too.

Yes, last year was great, but not all time great. This is the year he becomes a Legend.

As far as speed and power I don't expect much more. I think the room for improvement is vision; a few more cutbacks instead of plowing into the pile.

It literally was an all-time great season.

I agree with that plus if BH gets better and improves short and intermediate passing game just a bit it will do nothing but augment the development of LF's running game. The real key is going to be what the rest of the team does to promote LF's greatness. It's already been proven he can't do it alone.

It will be blatantly obvious against Wisconsin how big of a deal it was to lose J.D. Moore last year. When he went out we had to totally alter our offense because his back ups kept missing blocks.

Sure...
Statistically, he might not surpass what he did this past season. But he can still be a better player and improve in areas that you can't measure with a stat, like pass blocking, overall IQ of the game, picking up blitzes, etc.
And the only reason why I say he might not surpass what he did this past season statistically is because of Guice. He might be our 2nd best offensive weapon on the team behind LF and deserves to get 10+ touches per game. He needs to be on the field a lot, regardless if it's in the backfield with LF, at the slot position, etc. He needs to be on the field. If LF gets the full workload like he did this past season, he will most likely put up the #s he did last season. But you gotta think that Guice gets more touches and eats into that workload more this season as a Soph. And we all hope that Harris takes a step forward and improves as well.
It truly is a luxury to have a rare talent like LF and then have a backup as talented as Guice, who would probably be starting at any other school in the country.

I think he can improve as a player but not see it reflected in better stats.
If BH really improves, LF may get fewer carries and yards, but it doesn't mean he hasn't improved.

He was a beast last year. I would have preferred to have him over any other back in the country. To me, he was clearly better than anyone else.
I think he will be just as good as last year and hopefully even better.

If they use guic3 more earlier in the season and pass more effectively LF will be better when it counts at the end.

While we certainly missed Moore, Mouton was a true freshman forced into a big role due to Moores injury. Yes, he struggled early on, but he got better and better the more reps he got as the season progressed and was playing pretty solid towards the end of the season.
And he was a true freshman. He will be much better this season.

He sets records if Bamako doesn't shut him down.....which is mostly because Harris couldn't hit a 5 yd out or crossing route

This is actually a very good question.

Its kinda like expecting Lange to improve on what he did last year.... Most would say Lange has had a down year, but hes still been good.
Hard to duplicate greatness in back-to-back seasons.
I do not expect Fournette to have as good of numbers as last year. Defenses will sell out when hes in game, Guice will get more carries to save LF's body for NFL....
