Re: Fournette says Fact they beat Us

What would you expect him to answer? The way that was set up was not fair to LF. If he says 'Fact' people are going to do just what's being done here. If he says 'Fiction' people are going to say he doesn't believe they can win.

That was a no-win situation for LF. Otherwise, I thought it was a good interview. Seems like a good enough guy.

I don't see anything to upset our team. He was not cocky or overconfident. But I suspect LSU and LF wants to avenge their embarrassment from last year. And yes, they were embarrassed.

I thought that was a very good interview and came away very impressed with the young man

No way he could answer otherwise, but he seems like a good dude. I can't imagine Bama needs motivation regarding the upcoming matchup, but if they do, this is pretty weak...

Wouldn't you? I would. But they gotta know the reality of avenging the defeat isn't likely. LF was put in a precarious position and responded the only way he could publicly. He's a good guy. I like him as a person. But he'll probably see more of the same on 11-05.

Re: Fournette says Fact they beat Us

LF is a great guy and a fantastic football player. He had no chance last year because we were built to shut him down before he could ever get going. That's his thing...if he can get to the LOS...he's going to get his yards. The key is keeping him from getting that far and LSU couldn't stop our pressure.

Our games in Baton Rouge tend to be nail biters and I don't think this one will be any different given our struggles passing downfield. I do expect LF to give it everything he has though...he's had this game circled for the past year and it's going to take our best to slow him down.

What else is he going to say? Either way, the whole "death valley at night gets old".

RTR!

Last time (2014), we lost a costly fumble, LSU ran all over the Tide, Griffith missed a kick, and Blake Sims had to win it late with tying drive and an a TD pass in overtime.

Let's break their hearts one more time.

Re: Fournette says Fact they beat Us

Fournette seems like a good guy, and I'm glad he's back in the Heisman race again. If he wins it this year he'll have to run all over Bama, and I just don't see that happening.

I'd rather win by 3 TDs... :biggrin2:

I can't imagine we'll hold him to <40 yards again - he only needs a crease and he's gone - but this year's rushing D is amazing...

I'll be happy if we can keep him below 100 yards. We got to hit him in the backfield and get reinforcements there quickly.
