Under. I see Fournette sitting the entire second half. Rushing for 250+ in one half is tough, and very tiring.

If we don't play action on the first play of the game you might not even see a pass until the 2nd half. I'll go with the over because I see fournette averaging 30 yards a carry like he playing against a sorry high school team. Hell sometime it feels like Pocic and Clapp block 3 different people on one run. Every rushing recorded will get broke tommorrow

I am going with the under too. I just don't think he gets enough carries. I think Les is too classy to let a RB go for a record day against a rent a win team.

Under...but...

I think part of the deal Les made while recruiting Fournette was that while at LSU he'd get a legit shot to win the Heisman. While during the recruiting trail that can be all talk, now that he's jumped into the national conversation and into the lead, I think Miles is going to feed him enough to get a "big day" and then let him sit.

I'll say over 200 in the first half and then no action afterwards. but, he could accidentally get it in the first if he's at like 175 or something and then rips a 80 yarder before getting pulled.

The national media won't be watching this shitshow, so Leonard really can't have a 115 yard day and expect the pundits to know that he sat out most of the day...he'll need to get his THEN sit.

Agree GeauxTigerTM. CLM is certainly promoting him for Heisman. The campaign is underway. LF will get his. Then he's done. Full speed till halftime but then the entire team lays off. Courtesy.

A better question is, which will be the higher number:

LF's rushing yards or Harris passing yards

I'm really hoping it is something like 140-160 yards on a ridiculously low number of carries, like 8.

Then he sits for the last 40 minutes of game time.

WAFB (Jacques Doucet) did a piece with Alley Broussard who owns the record watching Fournette with his daughter. I'm sure al lot of you may have seen it. Alley says for it to be legit, (in a very joking way) he has to break it against a SEC team. Breaking it against a mid-major doesn't count. Actually, I kind of agree and wish he could break it against an Ole Miss or BAMA. Better yet, Chavis and aTm could be real sweet!

Unless he breaks a few big runs early I'm going with the under.


he has broken a big run in every game this season so i am just going to assume he does tomorrow. Still i bet he has around 150 yards and is done.

Under, unless he gets it all in the first half. I think we are gonna throw the football to get some work in the passing game.

FWIW, I think Fournette will eventually eclipse the 250 mark SEVERAL times while still at LSU, so Alley need not worry!

SEC, OOC...they'll both see it at some point.

I think Buga gets at least 15 carries... so over.

He should have no more than 13 touches tomorrow. additionally, 0 touches with a 3 possession lead.

Conversely, we should be 70/30 pass/run in the first 20 minutes.
