We are at the point in the schedule where he will play unless he absolutely cannot go.

Said this from the start of the season, it doesn't matter is Fournette plays or not. He is an outstanding back, but Guice fills in so well that even with a missing fournette we have bigger areas of concern. Seems like those may shrink the rest of the season, though.

I think he may sit.

I'd expect him to play. If he doesn't then it may be more than a mild ankle injury.

I would guess no. But I would sit him until he is healthy.

Game time decision IMO -- I'd give him limited carries. Make Florida have to prepare for it.

It's already been said that he has a high ankle sprain. That is a difficult, lingering kind of injury that is easy to re-agrivate. He is a great leader and team player, but if he is having issues, I hope he sits until he is truly ready. Even if that costs us games, he doesn't need to play hurt.

I wouldn't jinx the team. I would sit unless we got in trouble and then I would bring him in. I might would make him wear same underwear and clothed he had on last night and stand on sideline with uniform in the tent if needed.

He should rest until he is completely healthy. Miles destroyed his chance for post season recognition. Lets not ruin his chance at a big salary in the NFL.
Fournette has been nothing but class.

He hurt both ankles. It'd be tough to come back from that withou being 100% and still be effective

They said last night during the game he actually has injured both ankles.

That Auburn was a new injury to his other ankle, not the one he has been nursing.

I think he plays. He was a game time decision this week which means he was close. I think O expected to be able to beat Missouri at home without him.

LSU can beat fla without LF.
Let him rest and be 100% for last half of the season

If he's not 100% he won't play. Orgeron will not take that chance knowing LF is 6 months away from a life changing moment for he and his little girl
