It never ceases to amaze me. We may just have the best team in the nation and people still want to change everything we are doing.

Limiting a dangerous play for our star player isn't changing everything. We are an awesome team and shouldn't run dangerous plays when we don't have to. Same reason I would be ticked to see Harris running but not sliding up 30 in the fourth quarter this year.

What do you want him to do? Run right into the teeth of the defense? Go wide and get his legs blasted out from under him? That dive is probably the safest scoring play a RB can go for in short yardage

If you watch the replay of last one you will notice he cleanly flew over to helmet-leading Auburn defenders. You think it would have been safer to just collide into them?

If Fournette is injured against Syracuse I am sure a number of people would question it.

I hate it when he jumps over the pile and scores a TD


We really need to discourage LF from scoring touchdowns in a less than pre-approved matter!

We had an almost perfect game, folks need to quit looking for things to complain about!

I guess we're having to dig deep to find things to bitch about this week

This is football. There is a chance he could get injured running a simple dive play or toss around the end. I have no issue with him going over the top to score a TD. Whether it be in the first quarter or 4th quarter to seal a victory. LF style of play is not to run around someone. He will lower his shoulder and run over them. People want to bitch about the dumbest damn things.

I am really surprised to see him do this as much as he is. It is a dangerous play and he seems to be doing it when he has better options. I think he tried to do it from the 3 yard line in the first quarter.

Does anyone else hope that we use whatever tape we have for highlights and never see it again?


Did you just discover football?

Link? I see it every weekend and can't recall a serious injury resulting. I'm sure you have something more than a simple bruise on Saturday to reinforce your point.

So tell Fournette don't try really hard to score a touchdown. - Check

Injuries do and always will happen in football.

Btw, did you see how Kenyon Drake's injury happened last season?

Hard to have your knee or ankle twisted when feet aren't planted. The defense can't do those nasty things they like to do under a dogpile if you the top dog.

From the 4-5 is stupid (like yesterday) not sure what that was all
about.
Goaline is old school football.

I actually agree. We were up big, have multiple awesome rbs, and had LF dive at the one yard line, and take a helmet to the knee. There were 10 other ways we could have walked the ball in, and the game wasn't close. Not worth the risk IMO.

Every jackass seems to think that their shitty idea is important and needs to be discussed.
