Funny you should say that - and don't know if it's been said before in this thread - but I thought their (mis)use of Fournette, decoy or not, Miles keeping him on the field at the "wrong" time, and certainly getting him back in there on the last drive, was what cost the 'Who the game against All-Bran.
Question: Anybody think Fournette may "shut it down" the rest of the season?
- Thread starter Bamabuzzard
- Start date
agreed, coach O actually had it easier not having LF available. When Mile's put him in the backfield you knew exactly what was coming making him easier to stop. IDK, Fournette is a special athlete and all but the offensive philosophy has to keep the defense guessing to be effective.
Rece Davis has actually referenced this site specifically before. So yes, they read it as a tool to get the pulse of the hardcore fans.

Just pointing out to all those who keep arguing that LSU is playing for nothing, they are not technically eliminated yet from anything. They have 1 SEC loss, to AU, who is almost certainly going to lose several more. So, while it is not likely they are going to win out, still, they could. And then they'd be SEC champions! We cannot even rule out a 2 loss SEC champ making it into the playoff.
I just wanted to resurrect this thread since LF has such a monstrous night. #2 on Ole Mrs was hoping he had shut it down. He didn't play like a guy trying not to get hurt. And, he's no Clowney.
it will be interesting in 2 weeks to see if he can have better success with a changed offensive philosophy.

Last night was amazing to witness - at one point LF7 had 249 yards on seven carries resulting in three TDs - unreal!
TBF, after watching the game, I almost went back and shut this thread down. Then, I thought it might make for some interesting discussion. Bama has always had good luck with LF7. The game will be interesting...
Imo, the very thought that LF7 might shut it down, or iow not play up to his potential, for the remainder of the year is just an excuse in advance for another poor showing by LSU on the field. Please. We don't need that type of favor. Hit the field running and give us your best for 60 minutes. We can take it.

LSU hasn't faced a defense like Bama's. Ole Sis has proven all year that they can't stop any run game. I haven't bought into LSU yet. Since the coaching change they've played some of the worst rushing defenses in the country. I love all the hype LF is going to get for the next 2 weeks just for Bama to break his little heart again!
A&M was Bama's toughest matchup of the year IMO. Auburn is the toughest test left. LSU will be a 20 point victory, count on it. They will not have an answer for our run game and we'll make them one dimensional. Defense will have 2 pick sixes and the Orgeron honeymoon will end.

No argument from me about the competition LSU has faced. I'm happy he is back and will have another shot against the best.

I'm just gonna drop in here and saying the assertion in this topic's title is absurd. Fournette strikes me as a highly competitive guy. I don't think he's the quitting type.

Of course Fournette is competitive (and a great player) and of course Buzzard is right if LSU had not have gained some second life. And I don't think this discussion will be interesting at all if LSU beats Bama (which is not likely) in which case this thread and all LSU threads would be subsequently shut down.

Well thank you that you felt you needed to point that out. But at the time of this thread it wasn't so absurd. Trust me. Fournette was frustrated and the things coming out of Baton Rouge about the level of his frustration and him thinking about his future wasn't absurd. But think what you will.
Maybe...What if Bama holds him to less than a hundred and LSU loses? He might "tweak" his ankle late in the fourth qtr and once again shut it down. Just sayin....Good thread to speculate on IMO.
