What LF is doing considering our predictable play calling and having a passing game ranked in the 100s while he has been here is incredible. If we had a threatening passing game, his numbers would be even more ridiculous than what they already are.

Probably not if Miles sits them 2-1/2 quarters into the game:

Fournette (2015): 19 carries 228 yards 12.0 ypc 3 TDs

Collins (1997): 27 carries 232 years 8.6 ypc 2 TDs




Give Fournette 8 more carries in that game and there is no doubt he goes for over 300 , and maybe 2 more touchdowns...

Cecilia the diesel Collins was the most talked about back in lsu history until Leonard came to baton Rouge....but he had to many problems off the field dating back to his high school years....they are both great talented backs but Leonard knows how to act on and off the field...comes across as a very humble young man

I agree Cecil was an amazing athlete/running back, IMO, one of the best I have ever seen, a cross, BETWEEN Bo and Hershal. But dude did not have one brain cell, and had a criminal heart. Physically he was one of a kind, but had none of the other intangibles that you need to be successful.
