our front 7 was fantastic, but Bama wasn't the only team to put a dent on LF Heisman run. the media does a good job of selecting pieces to get their agenda across. I don't know if Bama put a mental scar in his head but after our game, Ole Miss and Arkansas had their way with him too.
yes, the Alabama front 7 was awesome, but it wasn't just limited to 7 players. Remember when LSU was in a timeout and Alabama had 17 players on the field waiting to see what package LSU ran onto the field? The combination of talent and depth was too much for even a great player like Fournette. i don't understand why any Alabama fan would discount his talent rather than laud the team performance.
To say that Ole Miss and Arkansas had their way with him is just inaccurate. He rushed 25 for 119 and 19 for 99 plus caught passes for 72 and 36 yards respectively. Not eye popping, but not terrible either. The game situation, playing from behind, had much to do with his lower stats.
Bottom line, Fournette has an incredible combination of size and speed. His positive, team first attitude and humility make him special. But, this is a game of 11 v 11 each snap and one guy can only carry a team so far, especially when facing a defense full of NFL caliber talent and premier coaching.
