All his carries were into the teeth of a stacked 9-man box. He still gained 29 yards on 7 carries before being assessed with an 11-yard loss on an errant pitch/fumble he recovered. After we went to 3 WR sets and Jennings showed he could throw on Wisconsin, the running game opened up, but Hilliard was getting all the carries then.

Fournette looked big and physical, but didn't show a lot of speed.

Seriously? EVERY run was into the teeth of a stacked 9 man box that was doing a run blitz. THAT is what LSU fans want to run with?

Why did your OC continue running their prized RB into the teeth of a blitzing 9 man box? Either you are wrong, or you need to take a good long look at your OC, I would say.

I have been pumping LF up right alongside the LSU fans. He will be a beast. he will only be there for 3 years before turning pro, and many teams will lose sleep to nightmares of trying to stop LF. He is that good, and will show it sooner, rather than later.

But, LSU fans need to quit trying to make up excuses, and simply say he is a freshman and LSU ran into a buzz saw of a run defense in Wisconsin.
