First let me just say it is an absolute shame that Leonard Fournette was not invited to the Heisman ceremonies in 2015. The man carried LSU football to 9 wins in 2015 by himself. For him to do that from the running back position is absolutely ridiculous.
Yes. He was shut down against Alabama. He went for 31 yards on 19 carries and scored a touchdown. But let’s be honest. Is there another running back in America that could have even done that much against Alabama’s front 7? Before you say yes and pull numbers, remember that Brandon Harris completed less than a third of his passes in that game.
