If LSU needs LF to beat JSU he should already be gone.

"I think Leonard Fournette is a go. If not a go, we won't know until game day."

Classic Les.

Fournette may be iffy the rest of the year.
This is one of those ankles that may hinder him the whole year.

Les relies too much on LF.


I love Fournette, but I would like to see LSU utilize more weapons

He should sit out.

I'm worried for him that a desperate Les Miles, trying to save his job, knows he cannot change his Stone Age offense and is going to run a banged-up Leonard Fournette into a serious injury.

Wow, how did we get this bad? This scenario speaks for itself.

Plus, Les certainly seems to be acting like he wants to be unemployed these days.

Maybe he's bi-polar...not the kind that dresses up like a white arctic bear and has sex with men and women either.

LF needs to look out for LF. I hate to see CLM wear him down when he is a top 5 pick this year


Yeah, those 19 carries might plum tucker him out.

I'm all for giving LF some rest; if we don't need him much in this game, let him rest before the SEC schedule.

How? He almost had 150 yards last week while playing at <100% and behind a shitty line against a very physical team determined to stop him. I agree he shouldn't play this week. But if he performs like the LF we know for the remainder of the season, he'll definitely enjoy a trip to New York. Idk if he'll win the heisman. But don't cut him out because our team lost. Look at RGIII. He won it while his team went 9-3 or something like that. Which was complete bs. But we won't get into tbat.

Is his injury the same as before the season?
Either way if you have to make a decision on gameday he should sit.

Yeah well if he doesn't play which there is no reason why he should with two SEC games coming up one would think this hurts his Heisman chances but remember Henry won the Heisman with his play in November.

He wasn't at 100 percent last week. A blind man could see that.

Even in the open field, his cuts and breakaway acceleration weren't what they should be.

He would not have been run down and caught from behind as much as he was had he been at 100 percent.

Per Emily Dixon and her interview with les.


Emily Dixon has absolutely no idea what his condition is. None of us do b/c you can't believe a thing that comes out of Les' mouth, especially about injuries.
Fournette could be perfectly fine, or in a cast and won't even be on the sidelines. We won't know until Saturday night.
