No because he complimented Kamara. LSU-saints fans are spontaneously combusting.

Your definition of big game is:

LSU lost = big game
LSU won = not a big game


There is no reason to discuss this topic with you.

Don’t hate him at all, just think it’s hilarious that Lsu fans treat him like he’s Walter Payton when he never did anything in a big moment.

if you only count the alabama games as big moments, you're right i guess

He's great and can absolutely run people over, but this is accurate. He gets tripped up very easily.

You all need to go back and watch LSU's Citrus Bowl win versus Louisville (the ENTIRE game).

Even someone with the most basic football knowledge can see the difference in LF's impact from the first vs second half.

Fournette was 2nd in the NFL for starting running backs for percentage of snaps against 8+ in the box, at just over 50% of the time....

His team was not good at all. Barry Sanders teams at Oklahoma St never finished in the AP Top 10 while he was there and two of the years they had him and Thurmon Thomas. Is Barry Sanders college career a bust?

LF7 won the NCAA rushing title in 2015

To say he was a college bust is head scratching

Big powerful backs in college often have trouble in the NFL as their preferred running style doesn't work.

In college you can be bigger and stronger than your opposition frequently and run over people. That doesn't work in the NFL.

Pretty much the main reason Trent Richardson was an elite college back but a complete dud in the NFL.

In college his line would open him a hole, he'd get up a head of steam and run through it and just bulldoze anyone in his way.

In the NFL making people miss is a better strategy than running over them.

If he doesn’t have a full head of steam he gets stopped in his tracks pretty easily.
So does Henry most of the time.

Doesn't mean they aren't really good.
